Viable Power Conversion Technologies specialises in providing custom-designed high reliability power conversion solutions for the defence, naval and airforce sectors.

The company has more than 25 years worth of experience providing high-quality ruggedised custom AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC power supplies and power system accessories.

We specialise in addressing our customers’ specific needs, whether that be a particular packaging constraint, performance characteristic or application environment, or a combination of all three.

As part of our military portfolio, we can design power supplies for ground defense applications with specific requirements, such as environmental conditions and electrical input requirements.
We design custom power systems for military aerospace applications. These power supplies meet the interface requirement of MIL-STD-704.
Viable Power uses a Thermotron electrodynamic shaker to perform its vibration tests. These tests are essentials to evaluate the product reliability under vibration stresses during use.
Viable Power uses many computer aided design tools to conceive, simulate and test its power supply designs.
Viable Power’s experienced team of designers, technicians and engineers can develop, proof, manufacture and test our custom power supplies to the highest standards and constraints.
Viable Power power systems for military aviation serve on aircraft, both fixed wing and rotary wing, unmanned aerial vehicles and target drones.
Viable Power has 25 years of experience in the design of shipboard and naval ruggedized AC-DC power supplies units that meet MIL-STD-1399 requirements.
Our aerospace military specified power supply units are custom designed and packaged to withstand extreme temperature ranges coupled with high altitudes, vibration, humidity and more.

Power converter modules for airforce applications

Viable Power’s design process starts with using industry standard power converter modules from a broad range of renowned manufacturers and developing a custom power supply solution that addresses all our customer requirements.

The company performs rigorous quality inspections during the manufacturing phase, followed by a series of performance tests including thermal cycling and vibration. This allows us to deliver a quality product that will perform for many years.

Our 7,500ft² facility features production equipment including wave solder and printed circuit board washing machinery, wire cutting, stripping and crimping machines and electronic microscope inspection tools.

In addition, our Automated Test Equipment (ATE) allows us to test a power supply unit with up to 8 output channels. We can perform onsite vibration testing with our electrodynamic vibration system and environmental testing with our high ramp rate temperature cycling and humidity test chambers.

Custom AC-DC power supply units

Viable Power has extensive experience designing custom AC-DC power supplies for airborne, naval and ground defense applications, with power capabilities ranging from 20W to multiple KW.

We design AC-DC power supplies operating from three phase 115V, 400Hz sources and from single phase 115V, 60Hz sources. All units produced by Viable meet the input requirement of MIL-STD-704 or RTCA DO-160 for airborne and MIL-STD-1399 for shipboard.

Our AC-DC power supplies include custom or standard EMI filters, rectifiers, and power factor correction units with high input voltage DC-DC modules from well-known manufacturers. We can custom design and package solutions to meet the unique demands of the airforce industry.

Custom DC power supply units for defence forces

Viable Power designs custom DC-DC power supply units with power capabilities from 5W to over 2KW. Our DC-DC power supplies normally operate from 28V sources, but we can also design for 48V, 72V and 270V input voltages for airforce applications.

We include a custom designed or standard EMI filter module in our DC-DC units. Other input circuitry may include inrush current limiting, reverse polarity protection and bulk internal capacitance. Uniquely packaged and designed to meet our customer requirements, our DC-DC power supplies can withstand temperature, altitude and vibration.

Viable Power’s custom DC-DC power supplies are designed to meet the input requirements of MIL-STD-1275 for ground vehicles, MIL-STD-704 or RTCA DO-160 for airborne, or any other requirement for any application.

Power supply designs for airforce applications

Viable can cater to a wide range of client requirements, whether that be the need for a particular performance characteristic, application environment, or packaging constraint.

We provide rapid turnaround, custom-designed high reliability power conversion solutions for the aerospace, naval and ground defense military sectors.

All our custom power supplies are designed to meet specific requirements from multiple standards such as MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD 1399 Section 300, MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-461, RTCA-DO-160, MIL-STD-810 and MIL-HDBK-217F N2.

Contract manufacturing of custom power supplies

Viable Power’s extensive facilities mean the company has at its disposal the equipment and knowledge to assist customers from the aerospace, naval, and military sectors with low to medium volume contract manufacturing.

We offer a turn-key service covering all details from customer purchase order placement through to end item delivery.
