General-purpose power supplies boost efficiency
The LS50, LS75 and LS100 have 88 to 264V AC inputs, while the LS150 is switch-selectable for 115 or 230V AC, minimising the cost.
Power supplies cater for short-term peaks
Units provide a very cost and space efficient solution compared with oversizing conventional power supplies just to handle the peak current.
"You'd be surprised where Lambda's products can be found: get into a body-scanner and they're there, go for laser eye surgery and they're there, go into a wafer-fab factory and they're there - here is a company which deserves to be Manufacturer of the Year".
This year's awards not only commemorated local manufacturing firms trading on the world stage, but also marked the 10th birthday of the NDMA awards.
Lambda picked up its award at the ceremony which was held in March at The Barnstaple Hotel in Devon.
The event was attended by over 60 business leaders from across the South West.
Having recently celebrated 40 years of manufacturing at its Ilfracombe plant, Martin Southam, Director of Marketing, Lambda Europe attributes the company's continuing success to: "A very loyal and experienced team of employees with expertise in a multitude of disciplines".
"More than 40% of our employees have been with Lambda for over 10 years and the average length of service is 9 years".
"The Ilfracombe site now employees 300 people in one of the most advanced electronics plants of its kind and investment in the site continues".
He adds: "Product innovation has been synonymous with Lambda UK ever since those early days of utilising transistors instead of valves, and the plants at Ilfracombe have played a key role since 1966".
The initial building at Ilfracombe occupied 500m2 and first year sales were recorded at GBP 500,000.
Now, there are two factories occupying 2000m2 of manufacturing, making a significant contribution to TDK and Lambda's overall position as market leader in the industrial power supply market worldwide. Request free introductory details about products from Lambda ...
