Rectifier Technologies

What Rectifier Technologies does

Rectifier Technologies Ltd is an Australian publicly listed company (ASX:RFT), founded in 1992 and headquartered in Burwood, Melbourne, that designs and manufactures high-voltage switched-mode power electronics. Its core technology is a family of hot-pluggable rectifier modules (RT9, RT11, RT12, RT15, RT22) covering outputs up to 1000VDC and up to 50kW per module, integrated into higher-level PACQ Powershelves, Wall Mount Power Systems, ICERT 1000 battery chargers, convection-cooled systems, and EV-specific products. The flagship product is the RT22 50kW EV Charger Module, distinguished by built-in reactive power control that stabilizes grid voltage at high-power charging sites, certified to UL2202 and TÜV SÜD.

The company serves six core sectors — EV Charging (primary), Defence, Scientific Instruments, Oil & Gas, Utilities, and Telecom — selling primarily on a B2B OEM-embedded and direct enterprise basis. Named OEM customers include Tritium (exclusive supplier of 35kW modules for 120kW+ DC fast chargers since 2018, with a USD 5 million disclosed purchase order), i-charging (blueberry EV charger range), and Agilent Technologies (high-voltage supplies for ICP-OES instruments). Operations span three jurisdictions: R&D and headquarters in Melbourne, volume manufacturing in Johor Bahru, Malaysia (since 2004), and sales and marketing in Singapore.

The revenue model is overwhelmingly one-time hardware sales of power modules, powershelves, and integrated charger/DC UPS systems, supplemented by custom power system integration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct sales engagement. The company is also developing the Highbury DC bi-directional V2G/V2H charger as a forward product line under the HRE Solutions sub-brand. Overall, Rectifier Technologies operates as a niche, engineering-led industrial power-electronics OEM with deep design-in relationships in EV charging and other critical-infrastructure verticals.

Core offering

Rectifier Technologies designs, manufactures, and supplies high-reliability switched-mode power conversion products including rectifier modules (RT9, RT11, RT12, RT15, RT22), PACQ Powershelves, the ICERT 1000 battery charger/DC UPS, and EV charging solutions such as the RT22 50kW EV Charger Module and Highbury DC bi-directional charger. The company sells these products primarily as OEM components and integrated systems to EV charger manufacturers, defense, telecom, utilities, oil & gas, and scientific instruments customers worldwide.

Product overview

Rectifier Technologies develops and manufactures high reliability and high efficiency power conversion products. The portfolio is structured as a modular architecture: rectifier modules (RT9, RT11, RT12, RT15, RT22) serve as foundational building blocks that are integrated into higher-level systems — specifically PACQ Powershelves (fault-tolerant, scalable DC power systems in 4U/6U form-factors) and Wall Mount Power Systems (compact industrial chargers). At the system level, the company offers the ICERT 1000 Secure Battery Charger (modular DC UPS for critical infrastructure), Convection Cooled Power Systems (fanless systems for noise-sensitive environments like telecom and switch rooms), and EV-specific solutions including the RT22 50kW EV Charger Module (the flagship certified EV charging power module), and the Highbury DC charger family (both standard and bi-directional V2G models in development). A notable product line is the PACQ Flex'ion, a specialised powershelf for SAFT FLEX'ION Li-ion batteries via CAN bus BMS interface. The company also offers the EV DC Charger OEM Starter Kit, combining Rectifier Technologies RT15 rectifiers with IoTecha's control and cloud platform. All products serve six core sectors: EV Charging, Defence, Scientific Instruments, Oil & Gas, Utilities, and Telecom.
