Powerbox - Power Supply Solutions

The Powerbox Group channel extensive experience into the development, manufacture, marketing and sales of power supply solutions to a range of challenging applications.

The foundation of a headquarters in Sweden and subsidiaries in 16 countries (including Europe, the US, Australia and Asia) give Powerbox a global presence. The company offers a broad range of standard power supplies, and its capabilities extend to customized power solutions for medical applications.

MEDICAL POWER SUPPLY

Powerbox have a conscious understanding of the requirement of constant personal safety and stringent quality standards in medical power supplies, and these concerns are held in priority during implementation.

There are a large number of electronics used in the medical field, including all kinds of products from measurement and instrumentation equipment, analyzing equipment, x-ray machines, life supporting machines to devices for medicine distribution.

The list is long and the power and voltage requirements are very different, but the need for quality is of equal importance in each. Typical characteristics of medical power supplies include personal safety standards, low leakage and EMC emissions, the production of products for global use and the use of different voltages and power solutions depending on applications.

The high demands on low leakage currently combined with low EMC emissions imply an intelligent strategy for thermal management, mechanical layout and filter design. Powerbox engineers have the experience to ensure that medical products are designed to meet these requirements as well as the reliability and safety aspects relevant for medical devices.
