DC-DC converter with dynamic load
Background
The company produces and integrates a wide palette of power electronics for diverse applications in complex production systems. Innovation is one of the main factors in the company’s success.
Task
A new generation of devices in power electronics focusing on
superior competitiveness needs to be developed based on a changed system
concept. For this, Helbling takes on the development of the 6 kW DC-DC
converter solely on the basis of formal requirements.
Procedure
- In the first development phase: detailed review of the customer requirements and their application to a complete specification that includes more than just the technical details
- Partly in parallel: Development of a rough concept for the converter and verification of the most critical dynamic requirements
- In the second development phase: Development of a functional prototype of the converter and verification of its performance according to requirements
Processing time
3
months for phase 1 and a further 4 months for phase 2
Result
Tested
concept is used directly in the prototype phase. The early inclusion of
the component suppliers (Drossel, etc..) was particularly
advantageous.
Customer: Leading firm for industrial production equipment
