Power supplies, which used to be a mass of analog technologies, have been going through major changes since the turn of the century. Once controlled by switching devices on and off in an analog circuit based on output voltage monitoring, they are now controlled digitally by microprocessors and software. Cosel started to develop its own digital control technology at an early stage. By incorporating digital control technology into the analog circuitry, Cosel has achieved power supplies with higher-level functions from which the FETA3000BA is fully benefiting.

A good device has less than a millisecond pulse width, meaning that it is incredibly fast-firing, requiring the power supply to be able to deliver high energy levels during the pulse, but also able to restore energy for the next pulse. To meet such requirements is a great challenge, though by combining digital power and special PRBX innovations, the PRBX 2.25kW AC/DC capacitor charger SMM3000A80024C effectively meets the requirements of the job and complies with the medical safety standard IEC60601-1 3rd.

With increased concerns for the environment and energy optimization, immersed data centers are becoming widespread and a number of industrial embedded applications have adopted immersed computers requiring compliant power supplies that are designed, tested and certified to work safely when immerged in a cooling fluid.

It is apt and fitting that the Cosel group has achieved finalist status in the Power System Product of the Year category of the Elektra Awards for two leading power solutions for factory automation and robotics that are truly innovative. It’s a strong signal that the Cosel group’s clever combination of the latest technology in digital power coupled with our own advanced topologies make the COSEL RBC200F and the POWERBOX ENI250A very important components of the Cosel group Power solution toolbox.

We are very pleased to accept this award. It is industry recognition of Powerbox’s technical know-how and its ability to solve problems and create power supply solutions that previously have been regarded as almost unachievable.

Introduced in 2005, the concept of immersed data-centers emerged and since then a number of experiments became market reality. This technology requires specific caution when selecting switching power components and building practice very similar to that required by the Marine Industry. Immersed data centers are becoming widespread and a number of industrial embedded applications have adopted immersed computers requiring compliant power supplies.

The technology platform developed for the Marine PT578 employs the same components and design rules as immersed power supplies. Our Custom Power Solution group has now qualified these supplies as part of the PRBX Technology platform, shortening time to market for immersed embedded industrial computer and similar applications.

It is apt and fitting that Powerbox has achieved finalist status in the Power System Product of the Year category of the Elektra Awards for a product that is truly innovative, and it’s a strong signal that Powerbox’s clever combination of the latest technology in digital power coupled with our own advanced coreless energy transfer makes the GB350 a very important component of the Powerbox Custom Power Solution toolbox.

Railway modernization programs are now integrating digital control and additional safety functionalities that require a new generation of equipment for signaling, one that includes monitoring and independent battery backup. Most, if not all modernization programs will require it necessary to maintain and upgrade existing systems without any traffic disruption. This demands a high degree of flexibility in the power solution deployed at the trackside.

From the early days, board mounted DC/DC converters simplified the design process, whilst shortening the time to market. With the increased demand from Systems Designers to meet a large variety of bus voltages and from Supply Chain Managers to reduce inventory and fewer product-codes, Powerbox has been working on Swiss-knife power solutions, of which the PQB50U-72S and PFB600W-110S are perfect example of products responding to those needs.

Modern equipment embedded in trains require a specific power-up sequence (e.g. checking IGBT isolation, gate activation, security checks) which is done by a computer powered from an auxiliary battery. Due to some equipment or isolation breakers not always turned off, the auxiliary battery can discharge down to its safety level. Without proper LBVS, it is not possible to start the train, making this unit very important for safe operation.

Emergency vehicles and new long-range bus fleets are requiring very flexible and reliable power sources to supply local voltages to demanding applications such as radio localisation and on-board video systems. The new ENA100 and ENA200 series have been designed with ease of use and reliability in mind, making these class leading products.
