Power converter kits

FOR TEACHING AND RESEARCH

Our modular power electronic solutions are available in several pre-configured kits and bundles, enabling engineering to start working as soon as products are delivered.

All kits and bundles shall be considered as configuration examples, which can be fully customized as a function of project requirements.

The true plug-&-play compatibility between the B-Box RCP and the power modules allows saving a lot of time during the prototyping phase !

Teaching kits

Basic configurations for a quick start

In addition to our rapid control prototyping controller and its software, the kits contain several power converter modules and sensors. They allow building various topologies and reconfiguring the power converters at wish.

The kits are based on rack-mountable open chassis, facilitating the (re)arrangement of power modules. They however don’t possess the same protections or connectivity as their fully-enclosed counterparts.

These kits are ideal when maximum flexibility on the topology is needed. Indeed, converters can be easily assembled (and de-assembled!) by simply placing modules in and out of an open chassis. This allows for a high reusability of the modules.

VARIANTS

Phase-leg modules (PEB4050) for 110VAC operation
Fast-switching modules (PEB8024) for up to 200 kHz switching frequency

The power electronics bundle is a general purpose test bench. It includes a programmable controller and a selection of half-bridge power modules, LC filters, and sensors to build various topologies.

Phase-leg modules, inductors, and capacitors are safely enclosed in racks to prevent access to live parts. Nevertheless, all power terminals are individually accessible through standard 4mm safety connectors. For this reason, rewiring the topology of the system is simple.

Unlike the teaching kits, the equipment is rack-mounted in a cabinet with wheels. Thus, it can be easily moved around in a laboratory. The extra space at the bottom of the cabinet provides flexibility for the future and allows mounting more equipment if needed.
