Entry Description

NovaCor is the world's fastest and most capable real time power system simulator for utility grid modeling. Powerful and stunning, the unique industrial design strikes a driving stance. A backlit blue LED acrylic exoskeleton frames the matte black powder coat steel panel body. Branding for RTDS Technologies and the NovaCor product logo are showcased in radiant blue technik. The 19" subrack components (1U, 2U, 4U, 8U) compliment the formal look with a zipper-like cohesion. Materials, fabrication, assembly, shipping, human factors, service and maintenance all influence subtle design details.
