Power assemblies are an essential component found in just about every industry. They are a stout cable system that provides a reliable, efficient method of distributing power in a machine in a temporary or permanent fashion.
Custom power assemblies, however, are very different. When a client is able to add customization to a power assembly, the final product can take on a truly unique look, feel, and function. Customization not only allows the final product to stand out, but it becomes an organizational tool that reduces downtime and does not impede productivity.
But is there more to know about custom power assemblies than this?
While commonly used in more industrial settings, custom power assemblies can also be used in residential and commercial settings. These components have long been critical parts of business settings, especially in HVAC systems. However, in recent years, more homeowners have invested in major customer backup power systems due to catastrophic storms that knocked power out for days & weeks at a time.
Power assemblies are available in standard configurations. For the most part, these high-quality products do a good job for a number of clients. However, if a client is in need of power assemblies that must meet specific requirements (i.e., cable type, connector specification, custom length), custom power assemblies can be designed and engineered to meet those needs.
Time and money are two resources that are in short supply. Getting the most bang for one’s buck is essential when serving as purchaser of items such as custom power assemblies. While customization might seem like an added cost, going the custom route can actually be more cost-effective in the long run. By reducing installation time with a perfectly-fitted power assembly, the streamlined processes reduces overall expenses and results in little to no interruption of productivity. Moreover, because the quality of the custom power assemblies is top-notch, replacement is less frequent over time, saving even more money.
Discourse about custom power assemblies must always include information about safety. Identifying and addressing potential hazards is crucial to keeping personnel and equipment safe at all times. Depending on the type of specification noted by the client, various safety features are made part of the power assembly build, including but not limited to: protection from corrosive environments, minimization of mechanical stress, strict grounding protocols, and/or including some degree of redundancy.
Finally, as more companies focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship, today’s custom power assemblies can be designed with the environment in mind. Their durability helps protect them in harsh environments, some of which can be quite corrosive. Higher flexibility means less mechanical stress points that can lead to failure at the worse times.
There are a number of manufacturers of custom power assemblies promising many things. However, here at LoDan Electronics, Inc. in Chicago, we let out longevity and long-term relationships with our clients do the talking for us. We opened our doors in 1967 and quickly established ourselves as a leader in cost-effective, custom-engineered interconnect solutions.
