Power Converters

Power converters are electrical or electromechanical devices for converting electrical energy. They can change alternating current to direct current or vice versa but can also adapt the voltage and frequency or a combination of all of these. Sometimes the conversion takes place in a number of stages such as chargers for any battery-powered device or appliance. Devices like rectifiers, inverters, transformers, and linear or voltage regulators can all be considered types of power converters. There are various kinds of power converters and they are classified according to what they convert. Analogue-to-digital converters (or ADC) are devices like rotary encoders. The next category is Digital-to-Analogue (or DAC) such as CD players. Finally, there are devices which convert digital-to-digital (DDC). Power converters in all their variations have a wide number of applications. The detection of amplitude modulated radio signals and the polarised voltage for welding both require an AC supply to be changed into DC. When people travel to other countries, the voltage converters (or plug adapters) they buy are in fact a power converter. Any other AC adapter which converts mains voltage into low-voltage DC suitable for microchips are a form of this device too so their application is everywhere.

    DMS technologies

    At DMS technologies we understand the difficulties of working with power in the field. Man-portable equipment is only helpful if it is usable. We will work with you to discuss, for example, what weight is acceptable, carrying arrangements and if the equipment can be housed within a trolley style case. With our extensive experience of extreme environments, we can also work with you on suitable handles, connectors and leads. The packs can be smaller with a link cable to increase overall capacity, giving the same or better performance in units which are easier to handle. Cables can be designed to store in the case, either in a recess or, where required, in a lid mounted pocket. Cases can be stackable to aid both transportation and space reduction. We are able to offer various re-charging solutions compatible with the application which can include, for example, a combination of mains voltage, on-board vehicle and photovoltaic systems.
