                   This Amendment No. 3 amends the statement on Schedule
          13D filed with the Commission on February 21, 1995 (the

          Statement filed with the Commission on April 27, 1995 ("Amendment
          No. 2") with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per
          share (the "Common Stock"), of Exide Electronics Group, Inc., a
          Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").  Terms used and not
          otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set
          forth in the Statement.

          Item 1.   Security and Issuer

                    The information provided in Item 1 has not changed
          since the filing of Amendment No. 2.

          Item 2.   Identity and Background

                    The information provided in Item 2 has not changed
          since the filing of Amendment No. 2.

          Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds

                    Except as otherwise expressly indicated below, the
          information provided in Item 3 has not changed since the filing
          of Amendment No. 2.

                    DQE does not own any shares of Common Stock directly. 
          Other than through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Duquesne
          Enterprises, DQE does not beneficially own any shares of the
          Common Stock. 

                    Duquesne Enterprises is the record and beneficial owner
          of 933,750 shares of the Common Stock.  Of the 933,750 shares
          beneficially owned by Duquesne Enterprises, 526,250 shares were
          issued to Duquesne Enterprises upon conversion, pursuant to the
          Reorganization Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, of 25,000
          shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the
          "IPM Series B Preferred Shares") of International Power Machines
          Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("IPM"), held by Duquesne
          Enterprises.  Duquesne Enterprises acquired the IPM Series B
          Preferred Shares at an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. 
          The source of all the funds used by Duquesne Enterprises to
          acquire the IPM Series B Preferred Shares was a contribution to
          capital to Duquesne Enterprises by DQE.  The funds contributed by
          DQE to Duquesne Enterprises were obtained from the working
          capital of DQE and were not the result of a loan or other
          borrowing arrangement.  Seventy thousand (70,000) of the shares
          beneficially owned by Duquesne Enterprises were acquired by
          Duquesne Enterprises through a contribution to capital from DQE. 
          DQE had acquired the 70,000 shares through a dividend on April 4,
          1995 from DQE's wholly-owned subsidiary, Montauk, Inc.  Montauk,
          Inc. acquired the 70,000 shares of Common Stock in an open market
          transaction on March 7, 1995, at a purchase price of $16.50 per
          share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,157,800 including
          brokerage commissions.  The funds used by Montauk, Inc. to
          acquire the Common Stock were obtained from the working capital
          of Montauk.

                    The following table shows Duquesne Enterprises'
          acquisition, in open-market transactions, of the remainder of the
          933,750 shares of the Common Stock.

          The source of funds used for Duquesne Enterprises purchases of
          the above common stock was the working capital of Duquesne
          Enterprises, which consisted partly of contributions to capital
          from DQE and funds from a revolving credit facility.

          Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction

                    The information provided in Item 4 has not changed
          since the filing of Amendment No. 2.

          Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                    Except as otherwise expressly indicated below, the
          information provided in Item 5 has not changed since the filing
          of Amendment No. 2.

                    (a) DQE owns no shares of Common Stock other than
          through its wholly-owned subsidiary Duquesne Enterprises. 
          Through such subsidiary, DQE beneficially owns 933,750 shares of
          Common Stock representing approximately 12.02% of the outstanding
          shares of Common Stock.  Duquesne Enterprises directly and
          beneficially owns 933,750 shares of Common Stock representing
          approximately 12.02% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. 
          For detailed information on Duquesne Enterprises' acquisition of
          these shares, see Item 3 above.  Duquesne Enterprises shares the
          power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or
          direct the disposition of such shares with DQE as a result of
          DQE's status as the sole shareholder of Duquesne Enterprises. 
          Other than as described herein, to the knowledge of the Reporting
          Persons, the executive officers and directors of each of DQE and
          Duquesne Enterprises, other than in their respective capacities
          as officers and/or directors of DQE and Duquesne Enterprises,
          have no interest in, power to vote or direct the vote of, or
          power to dispose or direct the disposition of any of such shares. 
          Hurkmans directly owns 2,526 shares of Common Stock representing
          approximately .03% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. 
          Hurkmans has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of such
          shares and to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares. 
          Hurkmans does not share the power to vote or to direct the vote
          or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of such shares.

                    The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
          by the Reporting Persons and the percentage of the outstanding
          shares of Common Stock represented thereby have been computed in
          accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.  The
          percentages of ownership of DQE, Duquesne Enterprises and
          Hurkmans, respectively, are based on 7,770,873 outstanding shares
          of the Issuer's Common Stock as stated in the Issuer's Quarterly
          Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

                    (b) Given that DQE is the sole shareholder of Duquesne
          Enterprises, DQE and Duquesne Enterprises share with each other
          the power to vote and dispose of the Common Stock beneficially
          owned by each of them.  Hurkmans has the sole power to vote and
          dispose of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him.

                    (c) Other than the transactions described in Item 3
          above, DQE, Duquesne Enterprises and Hurkmans have not entered
          into any transactions regarding the securities of the Issuer
          during the last sixty days.

                    (d) Not Applicable.

                    (e) Not Applicable.
