COMPANY HISTORY
PENBRO CONVERTERS (PTY) LTD. was established in the year 1949 by Mr. Penchard and Mr. Hutton-Brown. The
first three letters of each name were used to form the name PENBRO. The new company started manufacturing
short-wave converters for AM radio receivers - hence the 'CONVERTERS' in the name.
In 1951 the company was officially registered under this name, but in the same year Mr. Penchard left, taking
with him the radio related business. He started alone under the name 'Amalgamated Radios’. Meanwhile, Mr.
Hutton-Brown guided Penbro Converters in a different direction. The operation flourished, manufacturing
Transformers, Wire-wound Resistors, and Coils for contactors and relays for Otis Elevators over a period of 26
years.
Gradually more complex electro-mechanical devices i.e. mechanical phase sequence relays, were added to the
manufacturing program. In 1964 Mr. H. van Aarde joined the firm. He built a winding machine to produce edge
wound resistors used mainly on DC traction locomotives. This became an important activity of the company.
After manufacturing resistors, transformers, chokes, transductors and sheet metal enclosures, Penbro progressed
to the manufacturing of power electronics and subsequently KELNICK DEVELOPMENTS was acquired in 1974.
By 1977 Penbro had outgrown its manufacturing facility in Fordsburg. While the sales office stayed in Fordsburg,
the manufacturing plant was relocated to a factory at Babelegi Industrial Estate, Hammanskraal, approximately
50km north of Pretoria. Later a store area of 1400m² was added to the 2000m² factory area. In 1992, larger
premises were obtained in Babelegi and in 2005 a second factory was established. The total floor area was ±
6600m². The Sales office was re-located to Pretoria.
The name of the company was changed to PENBRO KELNICK (PTY) LTD. in 1980 to incorporate both trade names
of our main products.
One often wonders how it was possible to compete against industrial automation with a labour-intensive facility
like Penbro and survive for 50 years, manufacturing such a broad spectrum of products, but touring the factory
and meeting Hermann, somewhere on the floor tightening screws, packaging resistors or simply giving advice on
where to send a child for future tertiary education, soon explains the recipe of our success.
Maintaining a horizontal management style throughout the ranks of the company, each individual in Penbro is an
equal and in his or her own right managing daily tasks.
Being employed by Penbro puts you in perspective of being your own boss and operating your own company with
the support of - Hermann van Aarde.

RESISTORS - EDGE WOUND
Penbro Kelnick began manufacturing wire wound resistors in 1951 for internal applications. The demand for edge
wound resistors came with the upgrading of railway locomotives from diesel to electric powered units.
Penbro built its own resistor winding machines and by 1967 was in full production to cater for this new market.
Ribbon and grid type resistors soon followed to supply the South African Railways with original and replacement
parts for various types of rail applications.

We also manufacture replacement parts for many applications.
The versatility of our production facilities and experience in railway energy systems ensure few restrictions in
our coil winding abilities.
No products are “too odd“ to manufacture - if there is a demand for it, we will remanufacture it. On many
occasions, bobbins requested for new or replacement coils have either become obsolete in which circumstance
we manufacture the bobbin to requested specifications.
Each coil undergoes thorough testing and inspection to verify that all electrical and mechanical characteristics are
in accordance with the specifications.

CATHODIC PROTECTION
We manufacture cathodic protection rectifiers for
the protection of pipelines, to reduce the soil to
pipe potential. This effectively reduces corrosion of
the pipeline.
Feartures include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
All weather enclosures
Variac, transductor or thyristor control
Analogue or digital meters
Single, dual or multiple outputs
Fixed, adjustable and combined outputs
built to ISO90021:2008 and SABS0142 standards
The most widely used method of cathodic protection is by impressing an electrical current between the pipeline
to be protected and an anode buried in the ground (usually above the pipeline) This creates a dielectric effect:
the buried anode is consumed instead of the pipeline, caused by the natural corrosion cycle which occurs when
two different metals are placed in an electrolyte.
Ideally a pipeline-to-soil potential of 1 to 2 volt should be maintained, but this is impractical as it would require
an infinite amount of power sources. On the other hand, a pipeline-to-soil potential of more than 2 volt at any
point could cause separation of the coating from the pipeline.
The commonly accepted practice is to install widely spaced power sources along the line with a higher
concentration of protection in areas where corrosion is more likely to occur.
The extreme ends of the line are normally not protected as well as the rest, and as the pipe ages, conditions
deteriorate and higher currents need to be induced.
To maintain required voltages and currents for maximum distances and best protection effects we implement
dual or multiple output rectifiers with adjustable features.

RAIL SIGNALS INVERTERS
Our inverter is one of the reasons we are currently the preferred supplier of all rail signals power equipment to
the local market.
The Penbro inverter for rail signal applications is a reliable source of AC power, operating from a wide range of
DC input voltages. It provides a stable, synchronized AC voltage of 110…380V, single or three phase to the load.
This is achieved using high efficiency pulse-width-modulation switching with IGBT’s.
A comprehensive electronic protection system is implemented for protection against hazardous operating
conditions. In conjunction with an optional static switch, it becomes an uninterruptible power source equivalent
to a dedicated UPS system, but with superior industrial characteristics.
These inverters are built to the highest quality standards, and have proven to be reliable and popular. These
inverters have been implemented successfully in the harsh conditions of South Africa for more than fifteen
years.

ROTARY UPS
Penbro Kelnick is the proud supplier of the HITZINGER rotary UPS brand, one of few large alternator
manufacturers worldwide.
The NBDD system is a diesel driven unit with a large flywheel, where the NBDK system has a kinetic energy
storage module for starting the engine through energy transfer during mains failures, resulting in a < 5%
frequency “drift”.
Both systems provide low frequency tolerances in the event of mains failure, and very high efficiency during
stand-by operation. Individual selection of systems components through careful evaluation helps further
increase the reliability and thus ensures high availability of power to the end user.
Combined with a diesel engine, switch gear and filter the end result is the most reliable form of uninterrupted
power available.
Two different configurations are currently offered with the following features:
• Operating voltage up to 1000V
• Output power rating of 25 to 2000kVA
• Power factor improvement to at lest 0.96
• Low MTTR and high MTBF in excess of 20 years
• High choke quality and alternator efficiency
• Optimal mains supervision, low maintenance costs
• Continuous high overload capability
