2025 Power Electronics Annual Conference (KIPE)
Vicor to present 48V approach to power at KIPE 2025, helping industrial applications gain competitive advantage. Vicor makes the transition to 48V easy
Maximize throughput and adapt to change quickly and easily
High density and efficiency
High current capability
Low height
Scalable and flexible
Reliable power conversion to meet evolving needs
Versatile and reliable
Vicor high-performance power modules can support cell voltages from 0V to greater than 48V. Modules can be used individually or in parallel arrays allowing output currents from tens of Amps to many hundreds of Amps. Reliability is assured by utilizing leading edge power technologies based upon patented topologies that have been successfully applied within the aerospace industry for decades.
Efficient and power-dense
Using a modular approach to power, Vicor high performance power modules require dramatically less space than traditional discrete power solutions while providing high efficiency and power density that is advantageous in all phases of the battery lifecycle. These qualities enable increased battery testing throughput without increasing floor space.
High current capability
Being able to manage the wide current variability in the process is essential to maintain continued operation. Vicor robust power modules have been designed to handle the high – and sometimes unpredictable – currents routinely encountered in the battery testing process.
The power delivery network
The non-isolated, regulated Vicor DCM enables easy implementation of a 48V architecture by providing conversion for legacy 12V buses powering the downstream cell monitor/balancing control units. This high-performance solution delivers significant size, weight, and efficiency benefits. This easy-to-use power module reduces design complexity and can be easily paralleled to scale power when needed.
