Power Conditioning & High-Power Test Rigs

Our engineering expertise spans custom power conditioning modules and bespoke test rigs capable of handling extreme electrical demands ā€“ including systems up to 1ā€ÆkV and 1ā€ÆkAā€‹.

Voltage Regulation

HSLā€™s power conditioning solutions employ voltage regulators, as well as transformers and electronic stabilisers, to keep voltage levels consistent for high-precision applications. These devices automatically adjust their output to compensate for any dips or surges in the input, preventing the dangerous conditions that can arise from input voltage instability.

By stabilising the supply in this way, sensitive equipment receives a steady, reliable voltage regardless of load changes or disturbances. In practice, a well-designed voltage regulation system continuously monitors the output and corrects deviations on the fly, ensuring a constant voltage output even when input power or consumption fluctuates.

Power Quality Improvement & Protection

Power conditioning is key to delivering ā€œcleanā€ power by filtering out electrical noise, harmonic distortion, and transient disturbances. Hadfield Services implements such measures to cleanse the incoming power, drastically reducing noise and harmonics that can interfere with sensitive electronics. By filtering these power pollutants and smoothing the waveform, their solutions provide cleaner, more stable power ā€“ a prerequisite for the proper functioning of high-performance systemsā€‹.

Robust surge suppressors and power conditioners are also employed to insulate equipment from damaging voltage spikes, transients, and frequency variationsā€‹. This comprehensive power protection not only ensures reliable operation of precision instruments and controllers, but also extends the lifespan of equipment by preventing stress and damage caused by poor power quality.

High-Power Load Testing & Validation

In high-power system development, it is critical to test components under real-world load conditions to ensure they can withstand operational stresses. HSL’s high-power test rigs are designed to simulate demanding electrical loads (up to 1ā€ÆkV and 1ā€ÆkA) in a controlled environmentā€‹.

System integrity and efficiency

Our engineers validate overall system integrity and efficiency by observing performance under peak loads and uncovering any hidden weaknesses before deploymentā€‹.

By pushing power equipment to its limits, these test rigs reveal issues ā€“ such as voltage drops, thermal strain or other performance bottlenecks ā€“ that might not appear under light usage

Optimal performance

Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities early gives confidence that the equipment will perform reliably and safely in the field. In essence, HSL’s load testing solutions ensure that high-power systems meet their design specifications and maintain optimal performance when it matters most.
