High
Voltage Direct Current technology offers many advantages as compared to
alternating current transmission systems. It allows for more efficient bulk
power transfer over long distances. Custom high-performance, high-reliability
power supplies are designed to meet the unique requirements of a particular
customer and application than as compared to small high voltage power supply.
Reduced
Design Cycles: Using
high voltage modules eliminates the time required to either qualify custom high
voltage power supply or for equipment designers to research, develop, and
verify the entire supply themselves.
Reduced
Size and Weight: High voltage DC-DC converters just like low voltage dc to high voltage dc
converter occupy significantly
less space than traditional high voltage designs due to the advanced materials
and packaging utilized in miniaturizing the device. This leads to additional
space for enhanced system features, reduction in the size of centralized power
solutions, and a potential reduction of overall system volume. The materials
and processes used in the manufacturing of high voltage modules are proven for
long term reliability, with other hefty range of products available over a wide
range of voltages and power levels.
Reduced
Development and Manufacturing Costs: PCB-mounted modules generally don't
require hardware for chassis mounting or hand wiring, speeding up the assembly,
and reducing the risk of error. Customers and clients benefit from the
economies of scale since standard high voltage modules are already being
produced in higher volumes. The use of standard products reduces the risk of
reliability issues as the design is qualified, verified, and has demonstrated
reliability.
