Value-Added Power Solutions, Built Around Your Project

From a single pre-wired enclosure to a fully custom electro-mechanical assembly — Powerbox Pacific takes on the parts of the build that go beyond the power converter itself.

What Is a Value-Added Solution?

Selecting the right power converter, inverter or battery charger is often only the starting point. Product designers and engineering teams then have to work out how it will be installed, housed, and wired into the finished product — and in many projects, the power supply is only a small part of the overall assembly, with fusing, terminal blocks and other components still to be sourced, installed and wired in.

A value-added solution is the process of taking a standard power conversion device and building around it. That can be as simple as installing a converter into an IP-rated enclosure, or as involved as a fully pre-wired electro-mechanical sub-assembly with multiple converters, fans, diodes and breakers. At the far end of the scale, it can mean a custom-designed enclosure, a custom PCB, and a microcontroller for control or alarm states.

Engineered to your exact specifications — every value-added solution is built to the drawings and requirements you provide, with our team working alongside yours throughout, so the finished build matches exactly what the project needs.

Not Sure How Much Support You Need?

"Value-added" can mean anything from a simple enclosure fit-out to a fully custom build — here are some common solutions we offer, so you can see roughly where your project sits.

1

Enclosure Fit-Out

Converter installed into an IP-rated enclosure

2

Pre-Wired Assembly

AC/DC cabling, terminations, LED indication

3

Multi-Converter Sub-Assembly

Multiple converters, fans, diodes, breakers, N+1 redundancy

4

Full Custom Build

Custom enclosure, custom PCB, micro-controlled alarms

How It Works

1. Tell Us What You Need

Converter type, input/output voltages and load currents, physical space envelope, cooling and mounting style, and any connectors, alarms or indication required.

2. Proposal & Design

We come back with a proposal covering the technical approach, engineering design time, and pricing for sample, pre-production and production quantities.

3. Prototype & Sample

A first-off sample is built for your review and sign-off before production begins — with no minimum order quantity, from single units upward.

4. Production & Testing

Every assembly is functionally and load-tested before shipping. Typical timeframes range from 1-2 weeks for a repeat Solar Box build through to 3-6 months for a fully custom solution.

5. Delivery & Ongoing Support

We can scale production to match demand and hold buffer stock on repeat-configuration builds, so you're not exposed to lead time changes on components you rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We take on single-unit projects across all solution types, right through to production runs of several hundred units a year.
Yes, every assembled system is functionally and load-tested before it leaves us. Enclosures themselves aren't IP-rating tested, but we rely on the UL and EN approvals of the power supplies and electrical components used, and every assembly is completed by a qualified electrical engineer.
Yes, on repeat-configuration builds we can hold buffer stock to protect your production schedule, and can scale production up as your volumes grow.
Electrical pre-wire, installation and components carry a 1-year warranty. Power supplies, DC-DC converters and solar chargers used within the solution carry the warranty offered by their manufacturer, which we match.
Any product or design change is discussed and costed with you first. Where a component swap is needed, we typically build a sample for your evaluation and sign-off before rolling the change into production.
