Sorensen Outsourcing Service. What is it?
Power System Outsourcing is a Sorensen business unit uniquely equipped to design, assemble, test and deliver high current, complex power systems and subsystems. Many times these power systems are contained in standard industrial cabinets. Sometimes a custom configuration or subsystem is required for either OEM applications or unique process control, ATS, or reliability and burn in applications. Team Sorensen routinely provides design services as a crucial component to outsourcing success.

Who benefits from Sorensen Power Systems Outsourcing Service?
You, and your bottom line. Your critical staff members will spend more time focused on core competencies and value added activities. Your System Engineers will spend time on your products and main stream revenue generating projects. Team Sorensen will help define technical and equipment requirements needed to support your process and capacity. We will define the configuration, detailed material and piece parts list. We will consult with your staff to assure that all requirements are satisfied prior to proceeding.
  • Test, Manufacturing, and Process Engineering will focus more effort on your product and on process improvement, improving yields and increasing product reliability and cost margins. Power Systems Outsourcing means less time will be spent on fabrication, debugging, installation and support of process tools and systems. Test or process repeatability is assured.
  • Purchasing and Material Management functions will be streamlined and concentrated on meeting critical schedules. One purchase order will replace thirty or more orders for individual piece parts. The need to approve new vendors or find new sources of supply is eliminated. One supplier, one contact, built-in project management simplifies purchase order tracking and scheduling. System part number and configuration control is established and re-procurement is simplified.
  • Facility Engineers and Maintenance Staff will avoid troublesome transportation and installation problems. Team Sorensen will define wire size and type, provide appropriate mating connectors, recommend circuit breakers, safety appliances and other components.

Why would I need Power Systems Outsourcing Service?
Besides power sources and cabinets, there are countless considerations. Thousands of details require thought, research, time and resources. We manage the details from power mains to output loads; you manage your business.
  • From the power mains to the output load,
  • AC input service, conductor sizing, bundling and insulation ratings.
  • Fusing, breaker rating and NEC code compliance.
  • OSHA, operator safety, and regulatory compliance.
  • Airflow requirements of power sources.
  • Thermal calculations of rack heat dissipation. Connector suitability.
  • Remote shutdown, output disable design.
  • Details such as blank panels, rack slides, supports, and parts interference.
  • Asset location within rack to minimize complexity, increase ease of service, and guarantee repeatability. Eliminates research, defining rack system components, and documenting in sufficient detail to order parts.
  • A single bay rack: 10-15 major parts, 40-50 minor parts.
  • Reduces admin time spent on individual part purchase requisitions.
  • Eliminates most of the risk of unforeseen, last minute components.
  • Reduces engineering support time for in-house power rack design, fabrication, and configuration management and servicing.

Why would I choose Team Sorensen as my outsourcing supplier?
Elgar / Sorensen is in a singular position to offer rack integration and outsourcing services. No power supply competitor has as broad a product line; no power supply manufacturer has the experience, staff and facilities to offer turn-key capability. Many broad based EMS companies are not well equipped to design and implement solutions for high load current, AC voltage control and monitoring, or heavy duty interface cabling and bus bars. Our dedicated staff can provide a detailed proposal in less than 48 hours. There is usually no engineering, configuration or other non recurring costs. Our extensive and varied experience, combined with the largest standard product portfolio in the industry mitigates risk or delay.

The Elgar/Sorensen team can help you minimize time to market, and avoid system development costs. We deliver an integrated, fully functional system, on time and budget, usually in less time than in-house efforts. back to top
