Converter electrical diagram

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE SELECTION OF THE CONVERTER TOPOLOGY

Bus Bar Calculator can handle various converter topologies: DC/AC, AC/DC, DC/DC with 2-level and multilevel.
The operating point must also be filled to allow the software to correctly calculate the voltage and current in each branch.

ELECTRICAL STANDARDS AND FINAL APPLICATION AS INPUT CONDITIONS

Depending on the application, the converter doesn’t suffer from the same environmental constraints and design requirement changes. The conductive materials, comprising the bus bar and converter environments, must be entered to consider all the constraints together, from the very beginning of converter design phase, and thus optimizing the complete system.
