Engineers developing systems for train operating companies always have to have safety and reliability at the the top of their design goals. This is particularly true for designers of the driver display and control systems for the increasingly complex trains running on networks around the world. In an effort to save costs operators are providing [...]
Vicor announced an AC-DC converter module called the “RFM” that converts 3-phase AC to up to 10 kW of regulated 48 VDC. This new power component uses a low-profile power tablet form-factor measuring just 9.4 x 5.9 x 0.6 in (24 x 15 x 1.5 cm), enabling unprecedented power density. It has been designed to [...]
Vicor announced 25 new DC-DC converter modules (DCMs) with tighter output voltage regulation of ±1 %. The new power components allow engineers to drive loads that require tighter regulation with minimal additional circuitry or downstream components. The new DCMs are flexible solutions for a range of defense and industrial applications such as UAV, ground vehicle, [...]
