About Magna-Power Electronics: Powering Innovation Since 1981
A family-founded American manufacturer of programmable DC power supplies and electronic loads, engineered, built, and tested under one roof in Flemington, New Jersey.
Over Four Decades of Power Manufacturing Excellence
Every instrument is designed, built, and tested in our vertically integrated 73,500 sq-ft facility in New Jersey, USA.
Designed for Real-World Demands, Built in the USA
To design and deliver rugged programmable power products, built in the USA to the highest quality standards through a completely vertically integrated manufacturing process.
Rugged by Design
Engineered on robust current-fed topologies to run reliably for decades in demanding industrial laboratories, defense test stations, and continuous manufacturing lines.
Built in the USA
Every power instrument is engineered, assembled, and full-load burn-in tested under one roof at our Flemington, New Jersey facility to ensure maximum reliability.
Vertically Integrated
From sheet metal fabrication and magnetic winding to SMT board assembly and high-power burn-in, every critical manufacturing phase remains in-house under direct oversight.
Core Principles Guiding Our Engineering and Quality
Six commitments held across every bench and engineering workstation to deliver dependable power solutions to our global procurement partners.
01. Act Like It is Yours
Our team takes full ownership of design quality, production precision, and long-term customer satisfaction. We invest in lasting engineering rather than shortcuts.
02. Keep Your Word
Reliability is built bench-to-bench and delivered worldwide. When we commit to performance specifications and lead times, we honor those promises to our partners.
03. Quality Is Personal
Every weld, wire harness, and circuit board carries the maker's pride. Defect-free manufacturing is maintained through rigorous in-line quality controls.
04. Continuous Improvement
We actively refine our processes, power conversion topologies, and digital control firmware to maintain our industry-leading technical edge.
05. Open Collaboration
Engineering and manufacturing operate side by side. Feedback flows rapidly between assembly technicians and design engineers to eliminate potential failure points.
06. Culture of Safety
Working with megawatt-scale high voltage and high current equipment requires uncompromised safety standards for our team and end-user testing environments.
Four Decades of Power Electronics Leadership
From 1.25 kW rack-mount units to 10 MW+ custom power installations, Magna-Power has expanded organically through technical innovation and manufacturing investment.
Modular Product Architecture
One core current-fed power processing topology acts as the building block from 1.5 kW 1U rack power supplies to multi-megawatt water-cooled cabinets, maintaining unified digital controls across 400,000+ configurations.
Vertically Integrated Manufacturing
In-house CNC machining, wire EDM, magnetics winding, SMT PCB assembly, powder coating, and full-power testing ensure unmatched product quality, rapid lead times, and long-term spare parts availability.
Uncompromising Testing & Quality
Every unit is built to order and verified on proprietary full-load test stations backed by over 1 MW of load-bank capacity prior to worldwide shipment.
Timeline of Technological Breakthroughs
Trace our history from custom power research to global leader in high-density DC power supplies and electronic loads.
