Bulk Power Supply Design
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Hello,
I am looking for an experienced power electronics engineer or engineering company to design and develop a high-reliability industrial AC-DC power supply for continuous 24/7 operation.
**Application:** High-Precision Industrial Testing and Power Distribution Systems.
The project requires a complete custom design or an adaptation of an existing platform (ODM), with full engineering IP transfer. Upon project completion, I require ownership of all design files and documentation necessary for manufacturing, maintenance, and future modifications.
## Project Requirements
### 1. Overview
We require a high-reliability, industrial-grade power supply for continuous 24/7 operation. The power supply will be used in **High-Precision Industrial Testing and Power Distribution Systems**, where reliability, stability, and long service life are critical. The design must be suitable for long-term industrial use and utilize high-quality components from reputable manufacturers.
### 2. Technical Specifications
#### BOM Quality Requirements
* All critical semiconductors (MOSFETs/IGBTs) must be from Tier-1 manufacturers such as Infineon, STMicroelectronics, or Wolfspeed.
* Electrolytic capacitors must be industrial-grade with a minimum 5,000-hour life rating from manufacturers such as Rubycon or Nippon Chemi-Con.
* All components should be sourced from reputable manufacturers with long-term availability.
### 3. AC Input Requirements
* Input Type: Three-phase AC
* Voltage Range: 187–230 VAC (200V-class industrial grid)
* Frequency: 47–63 Hz
* Power Factor: ≥ 0.9
### 4. DC Output Requirements
* Adjustable Output Voltage: 36–44 VDC
* Adjustable Output Current: 0–120 A
* Continuous Output Power: 4.3 kW @ 36 V
* Peak Output Power: 5.3 kW @ 44 V
* Ripple & Noise: ≤1% of output voltage (maximum 400 mVp-p)
### 5. Protection Features
The design must include:
* Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
* Over Current Protection (OCP)
* Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
* Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
* Input Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
* Input Over Voltage Protection
* Inrush Current Limiting
* Output Fuse
**Target efficiency:** 85–90%
### 6. Mechanical & Environmental Requirements
* Maximum Dimensions: 280 × 120 × 240 mm
* Industrial chassis-mount enclosure
* Forced-air cooling using temperature-controlled fans
* No power derating up to +40°C ambient
* Target MTBF: ≥100,000 hours
### 7. Required Engineering Deliverables (Full IP Transfer)
Upon completion, the following must be provided:
1. **Schematics**
* PDF
* Original source files (Altium, Protel, or OrCAD)
2. **PCB Design**
* Gerber files
* PCB source/layout files
3. **Firmware**
* Complete commented source code
* Programming instructions
4. **Bill of Materials**
* Complete BOM with original manufacturer part numbers
5. **Mechanical Design**
* STEP or IGES 3D CAD files
6. **Documentation**
* Calibration procedures
* Test procedures
* Compliance test reports (if applicable)
## Please let me know:
* Do you have experience designing industrial AC-DC power supplies in the 4–5 kW range?
* Have you previously designed power supplies for industrial testing, power distribution, or other mission-critical applications?
* Can you provide a complete custom design with full IP ownership transfer?
* What topology would you recommend for this application?
* What is your estimated development timeline?
* What is your estimated engineering cost?
* Can you share examples of similar projects you have completed (subject to confidentiality)?
I look forward to your response.
Thank you.
