Bespoke Power Solutions

Duvine are designers and manufacturers of a range of power supplies, battery chargers and bespoke DC power solutions to the Rail industry and beyond

Duvine has over 40 years’ experience developing and manufacturing DC power solutions. The company excels in the provision of robust and reliable products for demanding applications, as well as the development of innovative bespoke solutions.

Duvine offers a comprehensive range of switch-mode power supply modules for Rail, Industrial, and Telecom applications. Covering a large range of voltages, multiple modules can be used to give systems redundancy or higher currents.

Duvine has been designing and manufacturing power supplies and chargers to the rail industry for over 40 years. The company works directly with Network Rail and Train Operating Companies to develop and supply systems for both infrastructure and on-board applications. Duvines’ in-house design team offers creative solutions to meet the industries demands, no matter how challenging these may be. Working alongside the industry and using its experience, Duvine provides technical assistance and design expertise to supply and create unique solutions, which are compact, efficient, and fit for purpose in these harsh and demanding environments.

These power solutions enable rail companies and operators to create better journey times by increasing network capacity, improving reliability, and making the rail networks more efficient and sustainable. All Duvine chargers, axle counters, level crossing, point-end switching and signalling power supplies are PADS approved by Network Rail for use on the network.

Duvine has trained and experienced R&D Teams familiar with the rigors of the Design for Reliability (DFR) process, which is a standard Network Rail requirement for all new equipment. DFR is a structured process identifying minimum requirements for suppliers to demonstrate that they have designed reliability into new or changed railway products. It applies to controlled products that require an engineering assessment, leading to a successful Product Acceptance (PA) certificate to allow them to be used on the live railway. DFR adds a reliability element to the previous, almost exclusive, focus on the legal and safety elements of PA. However, although DFR focuses on reliability, it also further assists safety, as reliability products need less manual intervention that exposes workers to trains and eliminates both safety and non-safety related asset failures.

Duvine’s latest approved product is the power and back-up solution for the new MK2 Obstacle detection system being developed and deployed by Network Rail and partners. Based on a module design the power system delivers an N+1 power solution with a variety of different autonomy levels, depending on the unique requirement of each location.

Alongside the standard product range, Duvine develops custom solutions for any application or sector. It designs, manufactures and supplies custom built power and distribution systems from the facility in Suffolk. Designed to a customer specification, Duvine has in-depth experience of supplying units to a variety of demanding industry sectors from telecom data centres through to outdoor road/track side cabinets with high IP-rated enclosures for offshore oil and gas environments.

Duvine’s expertise and experience allows it to be involved at the very early stages in the design process. Providing guidance and advice to meet and exceed client requirements. With years of experience of creating unique solutions, the in-house design teams’ flexible approach, allows Duvine to provide the complete end to end solution, from design and manufacture to shipping out and commissioning the final product.

As part of the overall solution, Duvine works with its parent company DMS technologies to provide complete backup systems. Based on its 40 years of battery knowledge, Duvine is able to provide a complete solution, which includes the DC power, chargers and batteries.

Duvine works with clients to create both prototypes and finished products. Listening and understanding unique power requirements enables them to create high quality, robust and reliable solutions. The in-house test facility and skilled engineers ensure that each solution meets and exceeds client requirements prior to any acceptance testing being carried out. Duvine also offers clients the ability to witness FAT (Factory Acceptance Tests) as well as being onsite for UAT (User Acceptance Tests) prior to any system going into a production environment. Duvine is totally dedicated to finding you the best solution. The company’s technical engineers will perform site visits and develop project plans along with technical drawings as needed.

Duvine specialises in the design and manufacture of bespoke reliable power systems. As no project, sector or industry are the same, Duvine has a great range of standard solutions, but if these are not sufficient, it will create a custom solution to suit your needs.
