Hydrogen is widely used in existing industrial processes including semiconductor manufacturing and aerospace, as a coolant in power plant generators, petroleum refining, glass purification, fertilizer production, pharmaceuticals and welding, annealing and heat-treating metals. Other applications include UPS systems for hospitals and data centres and power for telecoms infrastructure in remote locations.

Industrial power solutions manufacturer, Powerstax, can now supply the upgraded range of Magna-Power SL Series 1U programmable DC power supplies. Now offering up to 95% efficiency and carrying a Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratory (NRTL) safety listing the SL Series is comprised of 99 different models.

Value-added and industrial power solutions manufacturer, Powerstax, has been appointed as the exclusive UK distributor for the Technix range of high voltage DC power supplies and capacitor chargers. Technix products are in use worldwide by major OEMs and leading research laboratories.

Powerstax has been appointed as a distributor for Magna-Power’s range of Programable Power Supplies. This extensive product range complements the existing Powerstax portfolio of DC power supplies and Transformer Rectifiers. Magna-Power provide versatile high power density DC power solutions from 1.5kW to in excess of 2000kW.

Users of legacy equipment and those involved with repair or refurbishment of critical or capital systems can now buy form-fit-and-function replacement power supplies incorporating the latest technology and providing major increases in reliability and efficiency from Powerstax.

Industrial power solutions manufacturer, Powerstax, has recruited a new Design Engineer, Harit Pokharel, at their research and development and manufacturing facility in Wickford, Essex, where he will work on switched mode and transformer rectifier products.

Powerstax, one of Europe’s leading value-added and industrial power solutions manufacturers has appointed Martin Langmead as their new Sales Engineer. Martin has had a long and distinguished career designing-in and selling power supplies and has worked for well known companies including Powerline, XP, Nu Horizons, UR and Xcel Power.

Replacements and alternatives for legacy Kingshill linear power supplies are available from Powerstax covering a wide variety of linear power supplies commonly used in high reliability industrial, test and measurement, instrumentation systems and offshore platforms.

A high power rectifier system has been supplied by Powerstax to a leading waste management company Future Environmental Technologies, for a carbon capture installation at a factory in Wales. The installation allows the end user to its reduce C0₂ emissions and store and sell recovered commercial grade C0₂ for other applications.

An options list has been published by distributor Powerstax which illustrates how Behlman Electronics’ fifteen BL High-Power Series AC Power Sources/Frequency Converters can be selectively customised in many ways, without the typically high cost of engineering a bespoke power supply.

Industrial power solutions manufacturer, Powerstax, has been awarded ISO 9001 on its recently combined manufacturing facility in Wickford, Essex. The long term home to the ‘Drake’ brand of power conversion products now also houses production of the Powerstax range of high efficiency DC/DC converters and front-ends and value-added system assembly. After due process the complete facility is now ISO 9001 approved.

Powerstax announces the introduction its Drake TR Series of Industrial Thyristor Controlled Transformer Rectifiers. Available with outputs up to 750kVA this range of Transformer Rectifiers uses analogue or digitally controlled thyristors to achieve the required voltage and current profile with switched-mode technology available for smaller systems.

  Powerstax announces the availability of two ranges of high performance AC power sources that are now CE Marked and therefore compliant with all relative European EMC and safety directives.

A surprising number of power supply buyers and specifiers who would benefit from following the custom-design route choose not to for perceived cost and time reasons, argues Tim Worley, Powerstax

A power supply, which can be built to meet a customer’s exact requirements without the lengthy lead times and NRE costs generally associated with a customised solution, has been released by Powerstax. Key market sectors for the A3600 include communications, test and measurement, medical systems and general industrial applications.

  Expanding the company's N series AC/DC power supplies, Powerstax has announced the 504W NM0501 and 1008W NM1001. Both of these power supplies feature 90-264VAC inputs and power efficiency levels of up to 92%, enclosed in ultra-low profile 1U format packages.

A series of advanced DC/DC converter products has been introduced by Powerstax. The H0331 series is housed in the industry standard 1/2 brick packages format, with either 24VDC or 48VDC input buses, and are suited to industrial, telecommunications and data networking system applications.

Two switch-mode COTS DC/DC power supply units have been added to Powerstax's power supply portfolio. Designed to cope with demanding application environments, the Behlman VPXtraä 1000CM is a rugged, OpenVPX and Vita 62 compliant unit that accepts a wide range 28VDC input.

Powerstax is now able to offer an indispensable service to those in possession of transformer rectifier units. Delivering large quantities of regulated DC power in industrial applications, 24/7 availability is often mandatory for these high value items. It is therefore important that every effort is made to keep them running smoothly in the long term with no interruptions or loss in functional integrity.

Expanding the scope of what is achievable by engineers in their power system designs, Powerstax announces the Multistax Premium family of configurable switch mode power supplies (SMPS). These units are suitable for manding application scenarios with exacting cost/performance requirements, such as industrial, communication and medical.
