What can we offer that your average service / repair house may not ?

All power supplies are repaired by our highly experienced service engineers who specialise in Switched mode power supply test and repair only. We do not repair any other type of equipment.

All repaired power supplies undergo full retest after repair to original manufacturers test procedure where possible and soak tested at full power for a minimum of 3 hrs as per our manufactured products. Our soak facility caters for up to 200 units at a time.
Testing is controlled under our BS EN 9001: 2000 quality procedures.

All serviced product is soaked for at least 3 hrs under load with mains cycled at 30 minute intervals. Output voltages are continuously monitored under soak test via external PC/DVM system.

We always replace with components to original design where possible so as not to infringe upon UL/CSA/VDE safety approvals. 


All power supplies are safety tested for HI-POT and Earth continuity to EN60950 standards as per our manufactured products prior to dispatch.

All products are safety tested prior to final test and dispatch including earth continuity. For medical products we are able to measure levels of Earth Leakage <300uA.

The level of confidence of our servicing is such that we provide a warranty for all work carried out for
12 months. Others only offer 3 or 6 months.
 

Due to the level of experience of our engineers we can trace and rectify most faults quickly. This is reflected in the price we charge. As a design and manufacturing company we don't make our living from repairs and thus won't charge you the earth !

Holding large stocks of discrete components for manufacture ensures not only reduced service charges but also fast turnaround of repairs.

As we manufacture power supplies in volume we benefit from reduced component pricing and also hold large stocks of a wide range of  semiconductors used within the power supply industry as well as passive components.
These savings are passed on to our customers.


 

If you are experiencing repetitive failures with your third party product or have reliability concerns we can provide a detailed digital thermal image of your product under load via our in house thermal imaging system. We can also provide pre- compliance EMC test sweep results and analysis via our in house environmental chamber.

Last, but not least, from our own products, we know that if an SMPS fails there are usually a number of additional components that should be replaced apart from the obvious, to ensure reliability. We value our reputation as a leading manufacturer and as such will try our utmost to ensure that your serviced product will offer the performance as when first manufactured
 ( though it could never be as reliable as our own !! ).

If you want to ensure that your equipment offers the reliability that you demand from a switched mode power supply then we are here to assist.
