What is Pacific Power Source?

Updated

Pacific Power Source is a manufacturer of programmable AC and DC power test equipment, including AC power sources, regenerative grid simulators, electronic loads, and EMC compliance test systems. It serves engineering teams in aerospace and defense, EV and EV charging, renewable energy, data centers, military, power design and validation, research, and EMC testing. The website (pacificpower.com) is a product and solutions catalog: you browse by industry or product type, then contact sales for pricing and configuration.

Who it's for

The solutions menu maps products to specific engineering tasks rather than general power supply buyers:

Industry / application Typical need
Aerospace Programmable AC/DC sources for avionics and aircraft power testing
EV & EV charging Grid simulation and load simulation for onboard chargers and charging equipment
Renewable energy PV inverter grid compliance testing (SmartTS-PV)
Data center & network servers AC power validation for server and facility power
Military & defense Ruggedized, high-power AC/DC test sources
Power design & validation Bench and rack AC/DC sources across kVA ranges
Research & academia Programmable sources and loads for lab work
EMC compliance testing Harmonics, flicker, and immunity test systems

A notable detail: NHR product replacement

The site flags that Emerson/NI will stop supporting the NH Research NHR 9410/9420/9430 and 9510 series product lines after 12/31/26, leaving engineering teams with obsolete hardware. Pacific Power Source positions itself as a replacement path for those NHR users, so if you currently run NHR 9410/20/30 or 9510 equipment, this is the page to start from.

How to use the site

  1. Pick your application under Solutions (for example, EV & EV Charging or EMC Compliance Testing) to see which product families apply.
  2. Or go straight to Products and filter by type — AC power source, grid simulator, electronic load, or test system.
  3. Note the power range in each product name (for example, "up to 180 kVA" or "up to 1.296 MVA") to narrow down before contacting sales.
  4. For pricing, configuration, or lead time, use the contact details published on the site: +1 949-251-1800 or [email protected]. The site does not list prices, so treat any purchase as a quote-based process.

The site is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
