Industrial DC-DC Converter Acting as a Lifeline for Industries

2. Introduction A DC-DC converter is an electromechanical device that converts a source of direct current from one potential level to another. It is a form of an electric power converter. The advanced DC-DC Converter in the form of an industrial DC-DC converter has made several transformations to reach this segment.

3. Advantages of DC-DC Converter • DC-DC converter has several advantages. Some of them being- • These are high-efficiency regulators • These can supply varied voltage range • Very low current consumption operation • Short-circuit protection • Over temperature protection • Wide ambient operation range

4. Types of DC-DC Converter- • There are two different types of DC-Dc converter • Linear DC-DC Converter • Switched DC-DC Converter

5. Linear DC-DC Converter- It makes use of a resistivevoltage drop in order to generate and regulate a given output voltage

6. Switched DC-DC Converter- • It converts by storing the input energy • periodically • Releasing the stored energy at a different • output • Storage is done based on two grounds- • Magnetic field component as in the case of a • transformer or an inductor or electric field • component such as a capacitor. • Transformer provides isolation between the • input and the output

7. Advantages of Switched DC-DC Converter • Higher Power conversion efficiency • Lesser losses with higher switching • frequency • The output voltage can be regulated • as per the requirement

8. Uses of DC-DC converter in Industry Prospect • Transformer- • Industrial transformers are used to meet • the high current solution- It is designed to • run the Electric Arc Furnaces, Ladle • Furnaces, and high-current rectifier. • For delivering continuous and • uninterrupted electrical supply- For • proper and smooth running of the • industry, it is needed to feed them with • continuous and uninterrupted electric • supply. DC-DC converter fulfills the • necessity.

9. Uses Of DC-DC Converter In Industry Prospect • For regulating the voltage • fluctuation- Voltage fluctuations can • lead to malfunctioning of many • industrial devices. To prevent the • machine to perform irregularly, DC- • DC converter in form of transformer is • used. • Lowering the Life risk of the workers- • It has been made possible by the • custom current transformer in which • even when the current is high, it • produces a reduced current.

10. Capacitor- • Used in Power Conversion like in • the devices Electronic Welders, • Traction Drives, UPS systems, • Power Conditioning etc • Used in devices that involve • Pulse Power Testing like High • Power testers, magnetizing or • de-magnetizing systems, • underground line fault detectors • etc • Used in Line Frequency • Induction Motors as in the case • of machine tools and general • purpose motors

11. Capacitor- • Used in special purpose motors • like switch reluctance motors • Used in correcting power factors • The industrial DC-DC converter has been the major role to play in the industry sector. It has transformed the way industrialization was proceeding. It has boosted the productivity of the machines.
