Kepco Power Supplies

What Kepco Power Supplies does

Kepco Power Supplies (now operating as Kepco Dynatronix following its March 2025 acquisition by Process Technology) designs and manufactures electronic DC power supplies, electronic loads, and related programmable power equipment from its ISO 9001:2015-certified facility in Flushing, NY, where it has operated continuously since founding in 1946. The company's product portfolio spans linear and switch-mode power supplies from 5W to multi-kilowatt ratings, including programmable bipolar 4-quadrant sources (BOP series), hot-swappable N+1 redundant units (HSF/HSP), ultra-low-noise linear supplies (ATE/JQE series) used in scientific instruments such as LIGO, IP68 submersible extreme-environment supplies (KHX), medical-grade modules (ME/MP), ferroresonant railroad units (PRM/PRR), high-voltage sources (BHK-MG), programmable modular supplies (KLN/KLP/KLR/AE), and electronic loads (EL series). Products are controlled via SCPI over GPIB (IEEE 488.2), LXI Ethernet, RS232/RS485, IVI-COM, LabVIEW, VXI plug&play, or EPICS drivers, and are certified to UL, CE, RoHS, MIL-STD-461, Semi F47, and 60601-1 standards.

Kepco generates revenue primarily through direct hardware sales of standard catalog products (with online purchase via kepcopower.com), custom power assemblies and turn-key rack solutions priced on a project basis, and Plug Compatible Replacement (PCR) units that swap into obsolete slots without rewiring. Go-to-market combines product-led direct e-commerce, a network of regional manufacturer representatives and distributors, GSA Schedule access for federal procurement, and applications-engineering-driven sales for custom solutions. The customer base spans test and measurement OEMs, semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturers, defense and MIL-aerospace integrators, railroad and mass transit operators, medical device OEMs, scientific research institutions, industrial/OEM systems integrators, and offshore wind operators, with iconic reference customers including LIGO, the New York Stock Exchange, New York City subway signaling, the Alaska Pipeline, and air traffic control systems.
