Power Solutions

RECOM and its subsidiary Power Control Systems are specialist for customized solutions, with particular skills in product categories used in high reliability/harsh environment applications.

Typical products include: high-power AC/DC and DC/DC converters up to 400V/500A output - often used in battery charging/balancing applications, inverters, where high-availability AC output is required, PFC ‘front ends’ for conversion from AC line to high voltage DC - with power factor correction, and bidirectional power supplies, typically used in battery chargers to allow excess capacity to be returned to the grid.

PCS addresses a variety of special applications in the areas of transportation, defense, medical, energy and industry where standard parts are not available and custom designs and packaging are necessary. A common feature is often the requirement for ruggedization, particularly in vehicles.

About us - Power Control Systems and RECOM

In 2019, RECOM acquired Italian power specialist “Power Control Systems Srl” (PCS).

PCS was founded in 1980. It is located in a modern 4.500m2 R&D and production facility in San Vendemiano, northern Italy. Focusing on quality and highly reliable products, PCS is an expert in the field of high-power supplies.

Traditionally, PCS has had a strong presence in Italy and France, with a major footprint in the railway market serving all big players. In addition, PCS serves other industries including naval, avionics, telecom, industrial, defense, and medical. The acquisition of PCS fits perfectly in RECOM’s strategy of becoming a full-range service provider for power supplies, capable of providing power solutions in the AC/DC and DC/DC market for any application, from low power to high power, from standard to custom.

RECOM’s strong international market presence has already led to a massive expansion of PCS’s business within a short period. However, with over 3,000 designs into the DACH region, requests from emerging markets, such as e-mobility and nergy storage, and the US, India, and China, burdened PCS. As a result, it could not serve before the merge.

Currently, products successfully developed by PCS include converters, inverters, battery chargers, bi-directional converters, PFC front-ends, and boosters for hydrogen applications going up in power to 75kW, and special application products for rugged vehicles. As a member of the RECOM family, PCS is now supported by a global network of distributors and representatives.
