Engineered for rigorous test stand environments across UK automotive technical centres, aerospace labs, and renewable energy test facilities.
Providing UK test labs and equipment manufacturers with uncompromised precision, transient dynamic execution, and energy recovery capabilities.
Our regenerative DC electronic loads recycle up to 94% of absorbed DC power back into the local 400V 50Hz 3-phase AC facility grid, drastically reducing thermal dissipation and HVAC energy consumption in high-power UK test cells.
Capable of programmable continuous dynamic loading up to 50 kHz with programmable slew rates up to 50 A/µs. Perfect for evaluating transient voltage recovery times in automotive fuel cells, OBCs, and DC-DC converters under realistic road conditions.
Using ultra-low internal resistance architectures and integrated booster supplies, our loads can absorb maximum rated current even at operating voltages near 0V, enabling precise short-circuit testing for fuel cell stacks and single-cell Li-ion batteries.
Custom-engineered power testing platforms tailored to the operational realities of key United Kingdom industrial regions.
The UK’s automotive heartland requires high-voltage programmable DC electronic loads capable of testing 800V and 1000V EV battery architectures, traction inverters, and onboard chargers (OBC). Our cabinet loads simulate standardized dynamic driving profiles (WLTP, ISO 12405) with fast energy feedback, assisting UK Tier-1 suppliers in fulfilling stringent Net Zero emission requirements.
Offshore wind farms and massive Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installations across Scotland and Northern England demand robust high-capacity DC load banks for capacity verification and commissioning. Our systems provide precise Constant Power (CP) and Constant Current (CC) discharge testing for MW-scale containerized battery banks and green hydrogen electrolyser DC power supplies.
With the UK defense sector prioritizing localized supply resilience and electrification, our custom programmable DC loads support 28V DC vehicle auxiliary power systems, 270V DC high-voltage aircraft electrical networks, and naval radar power supplies. Compliant with strict EMC/EMI standard BS EN 61326-1 and featuring isolated communication interfaces for classified test cells.
Hyperscale data centers around London require rigorous commissioning of -48V DC telecom rectifiers, smart rack PDUs, and uninterruptible DC power supplies. Our multi-channel modular electronic loads enable simultaneous burn-in testing of up to 12 channel outputs with automated data logging to prevent costly downtime in mission-critical facilities.

Understanding the technological regulatory shift driving power electronics innovation across the United Kingdom.
UK electric vehicle R&D centres are rapidly adopting Wide Bandgap (WBG) Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors. This shift requires test equipment with fast voltage dynamic rise times and voltage ratings reaching up to 1500 VDC without insulation degradation.
Under the UK Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Corporate Net Zero mandates, test facilities are penalised for wasting megawatt-hours of power during burn-in trials. Regenerative DC loads directly reduce total energy intake and facility carbon footprint.
National Grid UK standards (BS EN 60255 & G99 grid compliance) mandate rigorous testing of secondary protection relays, DC auxiliary battery banks, and solar PV inverter outputs under transient grid fault conditions.
Decades of specialized power manufacturing experience combined with direct exporter support tailored for British businesses.
Every DC electronic load undergoes strict component traceability, 100% full-load burn-in testing, and insulation resistance checks prior to packaging, ensuring zero initial defect rate upon arrival in the UK.
Over 50% of our shipped units are customized to specific client requests, including custom cabinet dimensions, modified voltage/current envelopes, specific industrial bus connectors, and customized front-panel graphics.
Fully compliant with UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) standards, BS EN 61010-1 electrical safety, and BS EN 61326-1 electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring hassle-free compliance sign-offs for UK auditors.
We handle end-to-end logistics including customs clearance, duty payments, and direct DDP delivery to industrial parks in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, and Belfast via London Heathrow or Felixstowe.
We offer live remote video FAT sessions for UK engineering clients, providing real-time data logging, calibrated multi-meter verification, and step-by-step validation of specified test routines before shipment.
