AMETEK - Engineered Systems
When a catalog product cannot completely satisfy a requirement, AMETEK Programmable Power's Solutions Business provides custom power supply systems and integrations. The solutions range from OEM integration for medical and semiconductor industries to modular avionics ATE power subsystems to turnkey solar array simulators for satellites. We also can modify power supplies to meet your application requirements.
AMETEK Programmable Power Solutions is especially skilled at providing custom power supply solutions using existing technology and previously developed integration solutions. This approach provides maximum functionality, short lead times and maximum value. Here is a brief listing of some of the types of solutions we can provide:
Catalog product modifications include:
- OEM power supplies for heating or burn-in
- AC stimulus for current transformer and circuit breaker testing
- Solar Array Simulation for satellites
- PV emulation for inverter verification
- Power racks for high energy solid state lasers
- DC power source and regenerative load for avionics actuator and motor testing
- Save your time, money and resources and let AMETEK Programmable Power Solutions solve your custom power conversion challenges for you.
