Reliability
Power conversion efficiency is a key concern for fast charging systems and is measured by the power delivered to a vehicle versus the power taken from the AC grid.
For an infrastructure installation intended to provide over 10 years of service in harsh environments, system reliability is critical to ensure a return
on investment.
Electrical safety for users is of top importance when dealing with equipment that could potentially expose people to electrical shock or other hazards.

Telecom Rectifier - Rectifiers are instrumental in powering data centers and the cloud infrastructure. A rectifier converts AC power, usually from the electrical grid, into a clean and stable source of DC power to run all of the supporting information and communication technology equipment.
Solar Inverter & Charge Controller - With solar energy being a great source of renewable energy, an inverter takes DC energy generated by a photovoltaic (PV) panel and converts it to AC power. A charge controller is used to efficiently control the use of power generated by the PV panel to charge batteries providing local
energy storage.
Windmill Rectifier - Wind power is another great source of renewable energy. The rectifier and inverter in the windmill electrical system safely and efficiently convert power generated by the motion of the windmill blades into power that can be either stored or transmitted over the
electrical grid.
Uninterruptible Power Supply -
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) keeps critical electrical and electronic systems running in the event of a power failure. Various power conversion circuits are used to keep backup batteries charged and provide a clean AC power supply to
load equipment.
Industrial Battery Charger - Passenger vehicles like cars and buses are not the only ones to become electric. Material handlers, such as fork lifts, also use batteries as the main source of energy to drive motion. Industrial battery chargers are specialized equipment designed to safely and efficiently charge batteries on these light electric vehicles.
Batter Energy Storage System - Although renewable sources are great for generating sustainable energy, the demand to consume that energy does not always coincide with the time that the energy is generated. Battery energy storage systems help store energy when it is produced and allow consumption at times when energy
production is low.
