Custom power conversion solutions

Custom power conversion solutions

Eaton can leverage a library of proven topologies to quickly develop custom commercial, aerospace, and military AC/DCs, DC/DC and DC/AC power solutions. Many times a mechanical repackaging is all that is required to meet electrical and environmental requirements and application-defined space constraints.

Accelerated design cycles Accelerated design cycles are supported by a staff of over 40 analog, digital and mechanical engineers with expertise in a comprehensive array of power-conversion disciplines:

  • Watts to kilowatts AC/DC, DC/DC and DC/AC single and multiple output solutions
  • Centralized, distributed, intermediate bus and dynamic bus power architectures
  • Communications and control: RS, CAN, I2C, PMBUS, PSMI and GUI programmable
  • Switching frequencies up to 300kHz and power densities exceeding 39 watts per cubic inch
  • Analog, hybrid and full-digital feedback and control circuits
  • High availability, integrated back-ups and charge management for any battery chemistry
  • Convection, forced air and liquid-cooled thermal management
Global facilities provide local support

Eaton offers customers three power-conversion-solution manufacturing facilities to meet a broad range of logistics and cost requirements. Customers also have the option to utilize multiple facilities to support fast-turn prototypes and pre-production runs and accelerated production ramps.

  • Torrance, CA, USA: ISO9001:2008, AS9100C, CSA Category Program for Certification and CSA Supervised Manufacturer Testing Program.
  • Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico: ISO14001:2004, ISO/TS16949:2009, ISO9001:2008
  • Shenzen, China: ISO14001:2004, ISO9001:2008, ISO13485:2003, BABT

These global facilities can also provide localized support including customer service, project management, applications and sustaining engineering services and quality reporting.
