Explore our high-performance programmable DC power supplies and specialized battery simulation platforms optimized for research labs and industrial ATE rigs across the UK.
As the UK accelerates towards its statutory Net Zero 2050 target, test facilities across the British Midlands, Oxfordshire’s tech corridor, and Scottish renewable energy hubs face severe thermal management constraints. Modern electrification testing—spanning 800V EV traction battery packs, MW-scale green hydrogen electrolyser stacks, and pulsed aerospace loads—demands ultra-high-density power conversion. Traditional air-cooled DC power supplies impose immense thermal HVAC burdens, requiring massive facility footprints and generating intrusive ambient noise levels exceeding 85 dBA.
Our specialized water-cooled DC power supply manufacturing facility engineered for the UK market directly resolves these operational bottlenecks. By routing chilled process water directly through integrated liquid cold plates flush with high-power IGBT solid-state switching modules, our liquid-cooled architecture transfers over 95% of generated heat directly into the facility's water loop. This eliminates the need for aggressive forced-air fans, enabling IP54-enclosed, low-noise (< 60 dBA), dust-impervious power cabinets that maximize floor space efficiency by up to 70% compared to equivalent forced-air units.
Unlike conventional voltage-fed switch-mode power supplies that rely heavily on large, vulnerable electrolytic output capacitor banks, our proprietary power architectures employ an advanced current-fed power processing topology. In current-fed designs, an inductor serves as the primary energy storage element on the DC bus.
This structural difference offers unparalleled physical benefits for rigorous testing environments:
From initial circuit simulation to final full-power burn-in, our vertically integrated manufacturing facility maintains absolute control over quality, lead times, and regulatory compliance.
Every magnetics component, sheet metal cabinet, water plenum manifold, and populated PCB assembly is fabricated in-house. This minimizes supply chain vulnerabilities and guarantees a 4–6 week delivery timeline for custom UK orders.
Fully compliant with BS EN 61010-1 safety requirements and BS EN 61000-6-4 EMC emission directives. Ships with factory test documentation, UKCA declaration of conformity, and full calibration certification.
Seamlessly scale DC system capacity from 500 kW up to 10 MW+. Integrated MagnaLINK™ digital bus ensures deterministic dynamic phase synchronization, ultra-fast transient responses, and uniform thermal balancing across parallel units.
Standard isolated analog I/O, Ethernet/LXI, USB, and RS-232 interfaces with optional Modbus TCP and IEEE-488 GPIB. Native IVI drivers and Python APIs streamline integration into UK LabVIEW or MATLAB ATE test benches.

Our water-cooled programmable DC power platforms are customized to support key regional industrial clusters and engineering initiatives throughout Great Britain.
Operating within the UK’s automotive heartland (West Midlands, Coventry, Warwick), our 500 kW to 2 MW water-cooled battery simulators deliver stiff high-voltage DC buses (up to 1500 VDC) for dynamic electric vehicle drivetrain validation. Engineered to execute fast bi-directional power transients during WLTP drive cycle emulations, these liquid-cooled units eliminate thermal throttle risks during continuous full-power endurance testing.
In alignment with the UK’s Hydrogen Strategy across Scotland, Tees Valley, and Humber, our high-current water-cooled DC power supplies provide ripple-free continuous DC current (up to 24,000 A via parallel configuration) for PEM and Alkaline electrolyser stack characterization. Water cooling allows continuous 24/7 high-density operation in wet, outdoor-adjacent test containers without risk of coastal air ingress or particulate contamination.
Deployed across premier physics centers such as Culham Science Centre and Harwell Campus, our water-cooled DC supplies equipped with high-stability DBx modules deliver sub-ppm current drift for steering dipole and quadrupole electromagnets. Heat rejection directly into closed-loop chilled water prevents room ambient temperature fluctuations, preserving beamline alignment accuracy and scientific measurement reproducibility.
Supporting aerospace innovations in Bristol and Filton, our high-voltage low-ripple DC power platforms simulate 270VDC and 540VDC aircraft distribution grids. Advanced programmable transient software enables engineers to test fault conditions, sudden load shedding, and regenerative feedback from electrical actuation systems under strict aerospace environmental safety guidelines.
Procuring heavy industrial electrical equipment for installation in the United Kingdom requires strict adherence to localized electrical mains configurations and regulatory frameworks. Standard British 3-phase industrial power is delivered at 400V / 415V RMS AC at 50 Hz. Our factory configures every power system shipped to the UK with tailored primary transformer taps optimized for 400V 3-phase inputs, preventing phase imbalance and ensuring maximum power factor efficiency exceeding 0.92 at full load.
