Fail-Safe & Fault-Tolerant architecture for converter

Description

Electronic power systems play an increasing role in sensitive applications. These systems must withstand hard stresses, and any failure is a critical event causing application downtime. For a complete electrical system, failure rate is linked to more than 33% to fail convertor. How to go beyond these issues without increasing system costs and limited ? 
Our solution : Security system allowing internal failure confinement and backup cell launching.

Applications

  • Security system allowing internal failure confinement and backup cell launching
  • A passive coupling and switching circuit shifting to an unique backup cell
  • Continuity of service at full power rate after a power device failure
  • On line non-intrusive diagnostic of the backup cell
