Powervamp

Powervamp Ltd, (the name is derived from power = volts x amps), was formed by Richard Roller in 1993, and incorporated 1994. Initially building a range of portable packs for starting cars, buses and trucks the company pioneered the first stainless steel, portable battery pack for starting helicopter turbines, and went on to develop a range of stainless steel packs for aircraft and vehicle starting.Key to the company’s success and expansion was the extensive “hands-on” field testing and product development carried out by the company founder and by Powervamp engineers resulting in the development of equipment to meet the needs of today’s aircraft. At the same time Powervamp’s design team built a wealth of technical knowledge unique to the company.Having designed its highly successfully range of portable piston engine and turbine starting packs, the company identified the need for a miniaturised continuous, 28V DC power supply to allow police helicopter crews to train on camera and thermal imaging systems at minimal cost while on the ground.With Powervamp's worldwide reputation for reliable portable GPUs, (ground power units), and continuous power supplies, sales grew with the company relocating in 1997 to its present head office in Weston-super-Mare, near Bristol, UK.The acquisition of Effekta UK Ltd in 2012, (a specialist company in advanced power electronics), enabled Powervamp to become a manufacturer of advanced solid-state aircraft converters to the aviation industry.A programme of investment in product development resulted in a winning design of modular solid state converter. Price and features have been responsible for multiple orders being placed by Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, London City and Heathrow airports and numerous FBO as well as direct with major airlines for hangar installations.
