Custom and Modified Standard Power Supplies
Choosing the Right Approach
AE supports both modified standard and fully custom power supply solutions — each with distinct advantages depending on your technical requirements, timeline, and production
AE supports both modified standard and fully custom power supply solutions — each with distinct advantages depending on your technical requirements, timeline, and production
When to Choose a Modified Standard Design
Modified standard products are ideal when:
Modified standard products are ideal when:
- A base AE platform covers most of your requirements
- You need fast development and delivery timelines
- Only minor changes are needed for system compatibility
- You are building low-volume runs, prototypes, or interim solutions
When to Select a Custom Design
A fully custom power supply is the best fit when:
A fully custom power supply is the best fit when:
- No existing solution meets your application’s electrical/mechanical needs
- Full control over design, performance, and form factor is required
- You need to meet specialized standards or certifications
- Long-term production demands justify new platform development
Modified Standard Power Supply Solutions
Advanced Energy’s modified standard approach delivers tailored power supply performance—faster and more cost-effectively than a fully custom build. Engineers gain the flexibility to meet unique application needs without sacrificing efficiency, reliability, or quality.
Accelerated Performance with Adapted Platforms
Modified standard solutions start with AE’s broad portfolio of over 3,000 validated power supplies, giving engineers a strong foundation to work from. Targeted changes are then integrated to fit your application. This approach shortens development cycles, enables quick sampling, and simplifies modification using proven technology blocks.

Where Modified Solutions Excel
Modified standard platforms are well-suited for projects that need speed, flexibility, and cost control. AE applies targeted changes to pre-qualified designs, reducing lead times while still meeting regulatory and technical requirements.
This approach works especially well when:
- You need to accelerate development without starting from scratch
- Compliance or interface requirements shift mid-cycle
- Minor electrical, mechanical, or packaging changes unlock system compatibility
- You’re building short runs, prototypes, or bridge-to-production systems
