4. Our Company
Comprehensive Power was founded in 1998 by Frank Jones, who was
determined to design and build powerful, practical electric motors,
generators, controls and drives that provided customers reliable,
extraordinary solutions to tough, real world problems. Joined by Stuart
Jones, and a growing team of design and manufacturing talent, the
company grew by applying three rules to any business that they did.

easy-to-operate products designed for safety
and reliability.
6. TeraTorq® Products – Power. Packed.
TeraTorq® products are Comprehensive Power’s family of modular, configurable motors and
drives designed for high power density, high efficiency and exceptional torque. TeraTorq®
products address a broad range of applications using a shared product platform.
A truly configurable motor design makes it possible for Comprehensive Power to offer quick
delivery of motors that are optimized to specific customer requirements. TeraTorq® motors
and generators are designed from common building blocks that allow CPI to “dial in” exactly
the right mix of power, torque and speed by varying the dimensions, but not the design, of
TeraTorq® motor and generator components.
The TeraTorq® motor family consists of liquid-cooled motors and generators from 100 - 20,000
horsepower, built to withstand harsh environments and high axial shock loads. Powerful, compact
and lightweight, TeraTorq® motors and generators provide extraordinary torque and precise
control. They are equally at home in tight quarters on land, in water, at the top of a drill string
or in the hull of a workboat.
TeraTorq® compact control electronics are configured from 250HP/200kW TIM-270 modules –
system building blocks that provide high-performance intelligent power management. Each
TIM-270 can provide a multitude of functions, depending upon its deployment in the system.
Roles include DC to AC power inversion, AC to DC rectification, DC to DC conversion, power
balancing, driving electric motors and power transfer.
CPI’s TeraTorq® motors, designed with high power density and customized with an optional
hollow shaft, enable our oilfield customers to build compact electric top drives to fit into mobile
drilling rigs, replacing environmentally unfriendly hydraulics.
7. Custom Products:
Innovation to meet our customers’ needs
Comprehensive Power has a successful history of working with our customers
to create electric motors, generators and controls to meet their demanding,
specific needs – balancing conflicting requirements for optimum size, weight,
torque, power, energy efficiency and environmental considerations. Our PRODUCTS:

Power has the expertise and drive systems to meet your specific needs.
8. Comprehensive Power provides solutions to
the global alternative energy, marine propulsion,
oilfield and military industries. Our products
help put energy to good use, whatever the
application or industry.
9. From the fan motors designed to cool mobile radar systems in the heat of the desert, to the silent motors
built to deploy and retract the buoyant antenna of underwater submarines, to the highly efficient generators
that can produce grid-compatible energy from wind speeds below 11 miles per hour, Comprehensive Power
products provide mission-critical, enabling capabilities to applications in several rapidly growing markets.
Oilfield
No environment is tougher on equipment than the oilfield. Comprehensive Power has been building
and fielding equipment for the oilfield since our founding in 1998.
Our new GreenRig™ platform of electric power products are designed to reduce the energy requirements
and adverse environmental impact of drilling and oil production on land and sea.
Our TeraTorq® motors power National Oilwell Varco’s IDS-350P top drive, which has been designed
specifically for land rigs, providing maximum capabilities in a package that fits smaller-profile masts.
The hollow shaft TeraTorq® motors produce high power and work with industry standard drive
electronics or our more compact TIM-270 modular drives.
alternative energy
Comprehensive Power’s unmatched expertise in PM generators and electronics puts us at the forefront
in delivering systems to harvest the most usable energy from alternative energy sources, including wind,
wave and tidal power, as well as solar and fuel cells.
Our motors and generators work in hybrid systems, alternately providing drive power and regenerative
braking as the situation requires. While automobiles are a popular example of hybrid technology, we are
applying the same principles to other vehicles and systems.
Integrating alternative and conventional systems requires expertise in power electronics, safety and
regulatory issues. Comprehensive Power’s generators, power electronics and controllers can meet the
needs of grid tie-in or other end uses.
