Configurable, high-efficiency modular power supplies designed for continuous industrial operation, severe microgrids, and extreme operational environments across Northern and Southern Chile.
From the solar-drenched, high-altitude Atacama Desert to the rugged winds of Magallanes, our OEM/ODM modular power supply platforms are purpose-built to conquer Chile’s most challenging industrial environments.
Chile’s copper and lithium mines operate at altitudes exceeding 3,500m to 4,500m above sea level (e.g., Collahuasi, Escondida). Our custom power supplies incorporate modified creepage/clearance distances according to IEC 60664-1 and specialized thermal management to prevent arc-over and derating under low atmospheric pressure.
In alignment with Chile’s National Green Hydrogen Strategy, we design and manufacture high-current thyristor-controlled transformer rectifiers and switched-mode DC power systems tailored for PEM and Alkaline electrolyser stacks, guaranteeing minimal harmonic distortion (THDi < 3%) and ultra-low ripple voltage.
Extreme chemical exposure in salt flats (Salar de Atacama) demands ruggedized enclosures. We build IP54/IP65 N+1 redundant modular DC rectifiers with conformal coated PCBs, stainless steel busbars, and anti-corrosion treatments to maintain continuous 24/7/365 heavy electrowinning duty cycles.
Chile stands as a global titan in raw mineral extraction and a pioneering frontier for renewable energy integration. As the world's top copper producer and home to the planet's largest reserves of lithium, Chile’s industrial grid infrastructure demands unparalleled electrical reliability. However, operating power electronic equipment in Chile presents an extraordinary array of environmental, electrical, and geographical challenges. Mining infrastructure located in the Andes ranges from 3,000 to over 4,800 meters above sea level, subjecting power conversion equipment to extreme diurnal temperature swings, particulate-laden atmospheric conditions (caliche dust), and severe air density attenuation.
For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), engineering procurement contractors (EPCs), and system integrators operating within the Chilean market, sourcing standardized off-the-shelf power supplies often results in catastrophic field failures, unpredicted thermal derating, or non-compliance with local grid requirements (such as the Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional guidelines). As a premier OEM/ODM Modular Power Factory & Supplier, our mission is to deliver custom-engineered, scalable, and highly redundant power architectures built specifically to overcome these localized operational bottlenecks.
Information Gain Key Takeaway: Atmospheric pressure at 4,000 meters in the Chilean Andes drops to approximately 62% of sea-level ambient pressure (approx. 61.6 kPa). Standard forced-air-cooled power supplies experience a thermal derating factor of roughly 1% per 100 meters above 1,000 meters altitude. Our ODM high-altitude units utilize oversized heat sinks, specialized phase-change thermal interface materials, and high-static-pressure fans to maintain 100% continuous rated power output at 4,500m.
Designing power conversion platforms—ranging from 3000W server/mining PSUs to 960kW DC fast-charging power cabinets—requires strict adherence to Paschen’s Law. As altitude increases and air density decreases, the breakdown voltage of air drops significantly. This directly impacts clearance distances between conductive tracks, high-voltage transformer windings, and semiconductor heatsinks.
Under standard IEC 60664-1 guidelines, a multiplication factor must be applied to clearance distances for equipment specified for operation above 2,000 meters. For example, at an elevation of 4,000 meters, clearance distances must be multiplied by a factor of 1.48. In our OEM design facility, we implement augmented dielectric barriers, custom planar transformers with triple-insulated windings, and potting encapsulants to eliminate partial discharge risks in high-voltage modules operating up to 200 kV.

Chile’s Atacama Desert boasts the world's highest solar irradiance (GHI > 2,500 kWh/m² per year), rendering it an optimal location for green hydrogen (H2) production via solar-powered water electrolysis. Furthermore, the Chilean copper extraction sector relies heavily on continuous electrowinning (EW) processes. Both applications require high-power DC sources capable of delivering tens of thousands of amperes with high electrical efficiency and minimal total harmonic distortion (THD).
Our OEM modular thyristor-controlled transformer rectifiers and switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) incorporate advanced digital DSP control loops, active power factor correction (PFC), and phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) topologies. Key performance benchmarks engineered into our customized Chilean units include:
The Chilean mining industry is rapidly transitioning heavy-duty logistics and personnel transportation fleets to electric vehicles (EVs) to hit zero-carbon goals. Charging heavy mining equipment and high-capacity battery energy storage systems (BESS) requires ruggedized, split-cabinet DC fast charging infrastructure. Our 240kW to 960kW Modular DC Charging Power Cabinets and Modular Scalable EV Power Solutions are designed specifically for this task.
Constructed with IP54/IP65 protected modular sub-racks, zero-power-consumption standby modes, and wide DC output voltage windows (150VDC to 1000VDC), these units deliver rapid dynamic power sharing across multiple charging dispensers. The modular power modules feature integrated thermal isolation chambers, shielding sensitive power electronics from fine mineral airborne particulates common to mining roads.
As a dedicated OEM/ODM manufacturer, we offer end-to-end custom design, prototyping, compliance certification, and volume manufacturing services. Our manufacturing framework follows a strict ISO 9001 certified quality pipeline:
Evaluation of local AC input grid profile (380V/415V 50Hz), altitude derating factors, ambient thermal profiles, IP rating needs, and physical footprint limits.
3D thermal CFD modeling, magnetic transformer optimization, circuit simulation, PCB layout with enhanced isolation creepage, and rapid prototype assembly.
Rigorous full-load thermal chamber burn-in testing, high-potential (Hi-Pot) insulation checks, vibration testing, and fast-track shipping to Chile.
We bridge the gap between custom electrical engineering and high-volume factory production, supplying tailored power hardware backed by decades of proven field reliability.
Unlike vendors relying on standardized off-the-shelf components, our factory winds, pots, and tests custom high-frequency planar transformers, chokes, and inductors in-house, optimizing efficiency for specialized input voltages.
Our modular power architecture guarantees uninterrupted uptime. If a single power module experiences a fault, adjacent modules instantly share the load without dropping output voltage, accompanied by automatic hot-swap alerts.
Every product undergoes 100% full-load burn-in testing, insulation resistance testing, and dielectric withstand tests. Products conform to IEC/EN 61010, IEC 62477-1, MIL-STD, CE, and ISO 9001 quality controls.
