Powertec’s 50kW AC/DC Rectifier Strengthens India’s Defence Power Systems
Industry News- Sep 16,26
Powertec manufactures a 50kW AC/DC Rectifier Unit for defence applications, showcasing customised high-capacity power conversion expertise.
New Delhi, 31st August 2026:
In specialised defence platforms, even 25kW can represent significant power capacity, supporting vehicle auxiliary electrical systems, mission electronics and multiple support subsystems operating simultaneously, depending on the platform’s electrical architecture. Now consider twice that capacity.
Powertec Supplies India Pvt Ltd has manufactured a 50kW AC/DC Rectifier Unit for a specialised customer application, demonstrating its capabilities in high-capacity power conversion and customised power system manufacturing.
The unit operates with a 415V AC, three-phase input and delivers 28V DC output at up to 1,720A, with a total rated capacity of 50kW.
The comparison with 25kW provides perspective on the scale of the system. It does not represent a transition between two Powertec products but highlights the level of power that the 50kW unit has been engineered to manage.
Power requirements across modern defence and specialised platforms are becoming increasingly complex.
Electrical architectures often need to support vehicle auxiliary systems alongside multiple mission electronics and other critical support subsystems. The exact power requirement depends on the platform configuration and the systems operating at any given time.
A 25kW power system can already support substantial electrical loads within such environments. The 50kW Rectifier Unit manufactured by Powertec provides twice that rated power capacity.
At 28V DC, the unit can deliver up to 1,720A, demonstrating the high-current capability required for specialised applications with significant electrical demands.
The importance of the system extends beyond its 50kW rating. It reflects the capability required to convert, manage and deliver this level of power according to the specific operational needs of the intended application.
The 50kW Rectifier Unit has been manufactured by Powertec for a customer-specific application.
While the system is not being positioned as a proprietary Powertec product, its development highlights the company’s ability to execute specialised and customised power system projects.
Powertec operates across power conversion and customised power systems, with expertise including AC-DC SMPS and DC-DC converters for demanding and mission-critical applications.
“The growing complexity of mission-critical applications is creating demand for power systems that are not only reliable but also precisely engineered around specific operational requirements. At Powertec, we continue to strengthen our capabilities in power conversion and customised power system manufacturing to address these evolving needs,” said Sagar Brahmbhatt, Director, Powertec Supplies India Pvt. Ltd.
“The manufacture of this 50kW-class system demonstrates our ability to undertake high-capacity and specialised power requirements while maintaining the flexibility required for customised designs. From AC-DC conversion and DC-DC converters to complete application-specific power systems, our focus remains on developing and manufacturing solutions that support critical equipment and demanding operations,” he added.
Developing specialised power systems requires more than a standard product configuration.
Customer applications often involve specific requirements related to power capacity, voltage, current levels and operational conditions. Powertec applies its power conversion and manufacturing expertise to translate these requirements into customised solutions.
The company manages the manufacturing of custom-built, military-grade power solutions, specialising in AC-DC SMPS and DC-DC converters while also developing systems designed for mission-critical equipment and stringent operating environments.
The 50kW project demonstrates this capability at a substantial power level.
Powertec showcased the 50kW AC/DC Rectifier Unit at AEDEX + AIRPORT Expo 2026, giving industry stakeholders an opportunity to view the system and engage with the company on its capabilities in specialised power conversion and customised power manufacturing. The exhibition was held from 10–12 September 2026 at Yashobhoomi, IICC, Dwarka, New Delhi.
Powertec Supplies India Pvt Ltd specialises in customised power solutions for demanding applications. Its capabilities include custom-built AC-DC SMPS, DC-DC converters and specialised power systems designed for mission-critical equipment and stringent operational requirements.
