Powernet is a trusted supplier of demanding power conversion solutions for transportation and industrial applications. Since 1992 we have produced hundreds of different power supplies for harsh conditions.

Powernet is based in Vantaa Finland with a highly skilled R&D team and a partner network including the best EMS companies in the Nordic region.

Launched in 2012, Powernet’s ADC9000 series design platform covers the power supplies, converters and battery chargers from 500W-3200W with rail approved power modules, according to EN50155. Final products will often be optimized in co-operation with our customers. This is a perfect combination of the latest design knowledge and the individual needs of each customer. The ADC9000 series module family currently covers the following needs:

Combining several ADC9000 modules into a train battery management system the MSR9800 system offers solutions from 3-20kW, including customized charging algorithms, temperature compensation and CAN bus interface. With a modular approach n+1 redundancy is achieved by installing 1 module extra in the system. The MSR 9800 is designed using a 2x 19” rack width. Higher power (n x 3,2kW) can be obtained by connecting several units to the system or even several systems to each other.

Powernet standard products have been used in track side communication systems and railway crossing systems since year 2000.  The ADC5000-series power supplies and battery chargers offer a very reliable and proven solution with some 30 versions to choose from. For particularly harsh environments the units are offered “ruggedized” with both conformal coated PCB and silicone glue to support the main components against vibrations.
