your partner for high voltage power conversion design

AC-DC Converters and Battery Emulators


power your DC equipment and subsystems from AC line

If inverters are the heart of a switching power systems, then you might say AC-DC Front Ends are the lungs.   Without a reliable front end, the rest of the system just wheezes along.


A solid foundation.

AC-DC Front Ends take in AC, control and rectify it, and pass it on to the inverters.   We'll help you choose which of our AC-DC Front Ends has the capacity to power your inverters.   We look at available line voltage, power and duty cycle needs, and which topology, Buck or Boost, better suits your situation.   Then we'll optimize component selection to maximize performance and minimize cost.

Input voltages from 90 to 480 volts.   Power ranging from hundreds of watts to megawatts.   Options for cooling and environment.   Customization a specialty.

AC-DC Converters can serve another purpose.   When you want to provide power to your (perhaps portable) normally DC-powered systems, but want to avoid dealing with the complication of batteries when you don't need to, our AC-DC Converters may be just what you've been looking for.   Instead of waiting for batteries to recharge, you can continue operating. They also allow you to continue testing .

And let's not forget our Battery Emulators!   They're capacitor storage systems designed to simulate the rapid energy delivery afforded by battery systems, but very quickly rechargeable from AC line, making development of DC-powered systems more convenient and efficient.
