Rugged DC-DC Converter- Your Friend during Power Disruption

  • 7 years ago
The principle working theory behind every converter, whether it is a DC-DC or AC-DC, is same. It follows converting one electrical power source to another one. A rugged DC-DC converter is electrical equipment that works on switching technology. It helps in converting a source of direct current from one level to another. In direct current source, electrons move in one direction. Common places of its applications are- portable devices, wind turbines, photovoltaic cells and UPS
DC-DC in UPS Systems
DC-DC Power offers power to Uninterruptible Power Supply systems used for telecoms, IT and cloud networking infrastructure. The custom made UPS solutions ensure the immediate provision for the supply of emergency power for short-term mains. Mainly, the power is supplied during load-shading or because of the main power failure. UPS deliver the required reliability and flexibility required to protect against unexpected power outages as well as correct common power supply problems.
How DC-DC Works in UPS
UPS provides instantaneous protection from input power interruptions. It supplies the required back-up electrical energy by supplying energy stored in its batteries, super-capacitors, or flywheels. Though the back-up provided by Uninterruptible Power Supply is not sufficient to run for a long time but sufficient to start a new source.

Types of UPS According to Functionality
An UPS can be differentiated according to its function. There are three different types of UPS systems-
• On-line
In on-line mode, UPS uses the technology of double conversion that is first converting AC to DC, getting it passed through the rechargeable batteries and then transforming it into 120V/230V AC for the concerned equipments.
• Line interactive
In this, UPS maintains the inverter and redirects the battery’s DC current from the charging status to supplying the current when the power is lost.
• Standby
In Standby, it is the most basic form providing the surge protection and battery back-up. The equipments to be protected are directly connected to the incoming. In case of voltage fluctuation, the internal converter is switched on regulating the voltage and hence keeping the device safe.
Another example of custom DC-DC converter system is Dynamic Uninterruptible Power Supplies that uses flywheel to store energy. In case of power failure, an eddy current maintains the power until the energy stored in the flywheel is not exhausted.
The Custom Made AC/DC Converters and rugged DC-DC converters have been rocking the electrical world. It has translated the entire electrical system.
