Types and Latest Features of DC DC Converter

The design for DC-DC converters (which is also known as a boost converter or voltage converter) is designed for railway systems. The engineers help you to create reliable and compact power converters with multi-protocol train communication long lifetime isolation and high-efficiency. The converter needs some essential components to design perfectly. 

Types of the Converters

• Isolated and non-isolated converter:

These days, the advancement of science has blessed us with innovative railway DC-DC converters that have the most essential features, applicable to all kind of heavy devices. You may hear two frequently used terms of voltage converter – isolated and non-isolated. Isolation means the electrical barrier between the input and output of this converter. 

Today, non-isolated converters are a very common type of converter. It is low cost and simple in design. On the other hand, the isolated converter has a high-frequency transformer that provides the barrier. This converter can withstand anything from a hundred volts to several thousand volts. Therefore, it is required for n medical application. The other advantage of an isolated industrial DC-DC converter is that it can be configured as the positive or negative circuit.



When many users get confused about what will be best for their application – the isolated and non-isolated. You can use this in telecom, and datacom systems. The availability of high power and non-isolated converter comes in a brick package for the range of telecom and industrial applications.

Features of the Converter

• Output-input ranges and flexibility:

The converter offers a wide range of input and output. The converter which has maximum output power provides design flexibility, greater power and higher efficiency than previous specification devices. This converter can be used alone or combined with isolated converters to provide high-density power solutions.

Select the converter which can consume more power in the least space. The broad range of converter can deliver greater power and it is a more significant demand for engineers. Railways have various types of coaches. You are free to pick different types of railway DC-DC converters to provide electricity for passengers. It is used in air-conditioning; fan and it can illuminate light s in the railway coaches.

• The latest design of converter:

The converter is the most efficient system as the cost of power is less when you use this. The latest design of the converter improves passengers satisfactory as it has a high capacity to consume voltage. This converter system is considered to be the most economical and it has a minimum cost. 

Energy efficiency - It is the most important workable and financial solution which has many versions. This takes minimum space in the power applications. The design of the converter is chosen for the flexibility of the power flow. The development of the converter can change the complete situation of the power supply system and it has the maximum benefits in the railway industry. The efficiency of the entire system is higher when you compare it with other systems.

Maintenance cost – The maintenance cost of a large number of components of the converter is affordable. It has the reliability and maintainability. It is 100 percent eco-friendly. This converter can save maximum power for the operation of the train. 

Additional features:

1. It has integrated protection and isolated drives.

2. For advanced digital power control, it has high-performance processing. 

3. It has multiple train communication interfaces.

4. You can monitor and diagnose it easily. 

Bottom Line

The boost converter is extremely valuable and flexible power supply component. The features and flexibility of this powerful product avail a range of unique powering that is well suited to solve problems across a wide variety of applications. It delivers greater design flexibility and it can save broad space in the application.

What Makes AC DC Power Converters the Best Choice?

Generally, there are two classifications of current- Alternating current or AC and Direct Current or DC.   There are some electrical appliances, which require Direct current. Therefore, it is important to convert the Alternating current into Direct current. Using this concept, widely used AC DC power converters are manufactured. These converters are also well-known as Switch Mode Power converters.   This type of converter can be used for a number of purposes. Most household appliances (such as refrigerators, washing machines) are powered by this converter. Apart from this, the switch-mode converter can be used for manufacturing industrial machines. Advantages Here, we are going to discuss the key advantages of this converter. Let’s get into the details: ·          The latest collection of switch-mode converter is able to extend its efficiency. It can cut off power consumption. It is also good for operating a large number ...

Rugged DC DC Converter- Making Power More Powerful

With each passing day, emerging technologies and energy solutions are getting more developed and closer to being the mainstay of day-to-day life. Electrical energy, for instance is more practical at present than theoretical it was few decades back. With development activities at its extreme, converter is taking the more advanced form and has accelerated the activities of modern civilization. One such invention in the electrical sector is the rugged DC DC converter which are the electromechanical devices converting a source of DC from one voltage stage to another one. The power varies from a smaller unit as in the case of battery to high voltage power transmission. Before the modernization of power semiconductors and its subsidiaries, the only way to convert the voltage of direct current to higher voltage for low power consuming appliances was to convert it to AC first followed by a step-up transformer and rectifier. This involved a larger set up and was not cost effective. T...

Meet Railway Requirements with DC DC Converters

Isolated DC-DC converters (which are also known as linear converter or switching regulator) are required in a broad range of applications for power supplies. These are basically used in industrial sectors. These converters often are used to provide less noise function, improve safety and isolation. Moreover, these can be used to generate multiple outpour voltage in the rail industry. It has the feature of output voltage regulation and isolation feature that has three categories. One is regulated, the second one id unregulated and the last one is semi-regulated. This blog will discuss these three regulating features of the linear converter. All these are examined in detail. This blog will provide you with a guideline for choosing an appropriate solution for a specific application need.           Regulated voltage converter: The regulated voltage converter is typically used as a transformer to electricity from output to input source of the power st...
