Standard and custom power supplies precision-calibrated for telecom shelters, microgrid battery storage, commercial backup gensets, and transport fleets operating in Port-au-Prince, Carrefour, Delmas, and the Gulf of Gonâve.
Operating mission-critical electrical and communication hardware within the Ouest Department of Haiti demands power supplies built far beyond standard commercial thresholds. Between severe load shedding from Électricité d'Haïti (EDH), rapid voltage brownouts, unbuffered diesel generator transients, and salt-laden humid air from the Bay of Port-au-Prince, conventional off-the-shelf power equipment experiences accelerated Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
Commercial facilities and telecommunications towers across Pétion-Ville, Cité Soleil, and Tabarre rely continuously on secondary and tertiary diesel generators. When massive refrigeration or industrial water pumping loads trip offline, alternators generate massive inductive voltage spikes exceeding 250% of nominal voltage.
Eltrum regulated DC-DC and AC-DC modules integrate high-avalanche TVS suppressors, synchronous rectifier topology, and deep bulk electrolytic filtering to clamp spikes before they penetrate down-circuit ICs and microcontrollers.
During peak evening demand periods or sudden cloud covers on commercial solar arrays, DC battery buses regularly slump below standard cut-off thresholds. In a standard 24V or 48V bank, an unconditioned drop down to 18V or 36V triggers unexpected inverter shutdown and telecommunication radio drops.
Our wide-input buck-boost topology operates down to 8V input, seamlessly stepping up and stabilizing DC rail lines to maintain flawless telemetry without draining auxiliary battery balance.
With Port-au-Prince positioned directly along the Caribbean seafront, electrical hardware suffers combined stresses of ambient heat reaching 38°C, relative humidity routinely surpassing 85%, and airborne chloride deposition that accelerates galvanic corrosion on unsealed circuit traces.
Eltrum utilizes vacuum potting with thermally conductive polyurethane elastomer, rated IP65/IP67. This prevents moisture ingress, protects magnetics from vibration along unpaved roads, and conducts thermal dissipation straight through the exterior alloy enclosure.
Procurement directors and electrical installation contractors in Port-au-Prince must balance electrical isolation, efficiency, and input range margins. Below is our engineering comparison for localized implementations.
| Conversion Topology | Input Flexibility | Isolation Rating | Conversion Efficiency | Recommended Deployment in Port-au-Prince |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buck (Step-Down) | Vin must exceed Vout by +2.5VDC | Non-Isolated (Common Ground) | 94% – 97% | Stepping down 48V/72V solar battery storage banks to 12V/24V for security surveillance, NVRs, and perimeter LED illumination. |
| Boost (Step-Up) | Vin strictly lower than Vout | Non-Isolated (Shared Return) | 92% – 95% | Raising 12V starter or auxiliary battery lines to 24V/48V for VHF/UHF repeater transmitters and satellite uplink terminals. |
| Buck-Boost (Universal) | Wide span (Vin sweeps above & below Vout) | Non-Isolated Dynamic Rail | 90% – 94% | Critical vehicle electronic systems, logistics tracking units, and mobile emergency communication centers subject to alternator cranking sags. |
| Galvanic Isolated DC-DC | Standard telecom spans (18–36V, 36–75V, 18–90V) | 1500VDC to 3000VDC Optical/Magnetic | 88% – 92% | Base transceiver stations (BTS), industrial PLCs in micro-distilleries and textile plants, preventing ground loop hum and lightning surge crossover. |
| Intelligent LiFePO4 Chargers | Wide AC (90–264V) or Dynamic DC (10–36V) | Full Safety Galvanic Isolated | 93% – 95% Active PFC | Direct connection to unstable diesel gensets or solar arrays to execute strict CC/CV 3-stage charging curves without tripping BMS modules. |
From cellular communications to private corporate microgrids, our precision-engineered regulated power supplies deliver uninterrupted DC power across Haiti's most demanding sectors.
Mount Morne Sainte-Anne and regional repeater towers depend on our isolated 48V-to-12V/24V converters to shield remote radio heads (RRU) and microwave backhaul links from static lightning and ground potential differences.
Hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, and banking data centers across Bourdon and Delmas integrate our 1500W buck-boost modules to eliminate voltage dips when transferring between grid power, PV arrays, and LiFePO4 packs.
At the International Port of Port-au-Prince, cargo handling cranes, harbor tugboats, and container logistics scanners rely on our potted IP67 buck converters to withstand saline spray, salt mist, and mechanical shock.
Humanitarian aid vehicles, mobile clinics, and rugged 4WD fleets utilize our smart B2B battery chargers to safely charge lithium auxiliary banks from standard alternators without overheating the primary engine electrical loom.
Industrial and enterprise consumers across Port-au-Prince are rapidly discarding legacy lead-acid and flooded deep-cycle batteries in favor of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). This transformation introduces unique voltage regulation imperatives that our engineering team has solved at scale.
Unlike lead-acid which gradually slopes from 12.8V down to 10.5V, LiFePO4 cells maintain a remarkably flat voltage profile (around 13.2V for a 12V pack) until dropping precipitously at 95% Depth of Discharge. This sudden cliff can destabilize legacy linear regulators.
Eltrum high-speed switching regulators continuously sample line impedance, delivering a tight ±1% line-load regulation down to the exact millisecond of low-voltage BMS disconnect.
Connecting a lithium house pack directly to a vehicle alternator results in continuous maximum current draw because of lithium's extremely low internal resistance. In slow-moving Port-au-Prince traffic, alternator cooling fans run too slowly, quickly causing stator meltdown.
Our battery-to-battery (B2B) chargers actively limit alternator current extraction, delivering a pre-programmed CC/CV 14.6V or 29.2V charging curve that preserves alternator lifespans.
When EDH utility power momentarily reconnects after extended blackouts, line surges and severe phase imbalances trigger high inrush currents across downstream power supplies. Unprotected internal capacitors pop or fuse open.
Eltrum equips each industrial power supply with NTC thermistor soft-start circuits and active clamping, controlling current surge to less than 15A during initial grid reconnection.
