About Analytic Systems

Few names in power conversion carry the pedigree of Analytic Systems. Founded in 1976 by Lloyd Hargrove, P.Eng. — a former chief civilian engineer for the underwater acoustics division of the Canadian Navy — the company was built on an engineer's instinct for solving real-world power challenges. Based in Delta, British Columbia, just outside Vancouver, Analytic Systems has spent nearly five decades refining and expanding a complete lineup of power conversion products trusted across some of the most demanding industries on earth.

The company's roots lie firmly in the marine market. Hargrove's first product was a 32-to-12 volt Switchmode DC-DC voltage converter, purpose-built to power 12V SSB radios from 32V engine starting batteries aboard marine vessels — a deceptively simple idea that set the tone for everything that followed. That same commitment to solving practical, high-stakes power problems has carried Analytic Systems into military, industrial, telecommunications, transportation, and alternative energy markets ever since.

A key milestone came in 1994, when Analytic Systems introduced Pure Sinewave Inverters — years ahead of competitors. Today, their Power Inverters span power ratings from 300 to 3,600 watts, with inputs ranging from 12 to 400 volts DC and outputs from 100 to 220 volts AC. Military-grade and waterproof versions are available, reflecting the breadth of applications these products must serve.

At the core of the Analytic Systems catalog are their Battery Chargers and intelligent charging systems, which can draw from either AC or DC sources to recharge virtually any battery type from 12 to 72 volts at power levels from 100 to 1,500 watts. Whether you're maintaining a marine vessel's battery bank or supporting a military field operation, these chargers are engineered to perform without compromise.

Their DC to DC Converters are equally impressive in scope. Available in common negative or fully isolated configurations, these converters handle input voltages from 12 to 400 volts and deliver regulated outputs from 12 to 72 volts — with models capable of stepping up, stepping down, stabilizing, or isolating DC power entirely. Rugged aluminum enclosures, conformal-coated circuit boards, powder coating or hard anodizing, and stainless steel fasteners throughout ensure each unit holds up in harsh environments.

Quality and compliance are taken seriously at Analytic Systems. All products are designed to meet or exceed international standards including CSA, UL, ABS, and CE, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification. For defense applications, Analytic Systems is Canadian Controlled Goods Program registered and ITAR compliant, with experience meeting MIL461 (EMC), MIL1275, and MIL810 environmental standards. Their manufacturing facility — nearly 22,000 square feet of combined lab, office, and production floor space near Vancouver — handles everything from PCB assembly to final burn-in testing in-house.

Beyond standard production runs, Analytic Systems offers fully custom OEM design and manufacturing, from single prototype units to large production quantities. This flexibility, combined with decades of proven engineering expertise, makes them a go-to source wherever reliable, efficient power conversion is non-negotiable.
