Analytic Systems

Trusted Power Conversion Excellence Since 1976

Analytic Systems has established itself as a leading Canadian manufacturer of specialized power conversion products, serving demanding applications across military, marine, industrial, and telecommunications sectors. Founded in 1976 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company pioneered high-frequency switching voltage converters for the marine industry and introduced pure sinewave inverters in 1994, years ahead of the competition.

What sets Analytic Systems apart is their commitment to complete in-house manufacturing. All products are designed and built in ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities near Vancouver, utilizing state-of-the-art automated surface mount technology, CNC conformal coating, and proprietary transformer manufacturing processes. The company even operates a separate machining facility where they CNC machine billet and extruded enclosures from aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, and titanium, ensuring total control over component quality and performance.

Engineering for Extreme Reliability

Analytic Systems specializes in power conversion solutions designed to meet or exceed rigorous international standards including CSA, UL, ABS, and CE certifications. Their engineering expertise extends to military-grade applications, with products tested to MIL1275, MIL461 (EMC), and MIL810 (environmental) specifications. All facilities are Controlled Goods Directorate certified, ensuring the highest security standards for sensitive military and defense applications.

The company's product portfolio encompasses battery chargers powered from AC or DC sources that can recharge virtually any battery type from 12 to 72 volts, DC-to-DC voltage converters handling input voltages from 12 to 400 volts, and power supplies ranging from 100 to 1500 watts. Each product features conformal coated circuit boards, precision-machined aluminum enclosures with powder coating or hard anodizing, and exclusively stainless steel fasteners for maximum durability in harsh environments.

Innovation Rooted in Naval Engineering

The company's founder, Lloyd Hargrove, served as the chief civilian engineer for the underwater acoustics division of the Canadian Navy before establishing Analytic Systems. This military engineering heritage continues to influence the company's design philosophy, emphasizing rugged construction, electromagnetic compatibility, and fail-safe operation. Under the leadership of his son James Hargrove, P.Eng., since 1993, Analytic Systems has expanded its capabilities while maintaining the exacting standards required for mission-critical applications where power system failure is not an option.
