Introduction

A DC-DC converter is an electromechanical device that converts a source of direct current from one potential level to another. It is a form of an electric power converter. The advanced DC-DC Converter in the form of an industrial DC-DC converter has made several transformations to reach this segment.

Advantages of DC-DC Converter

DC-DC converter has several advantages. Some of them being-

These are high-efficiency regulators These can supply varied voltage range Very low current consumption operation Short-circuit protection Over temperature protection Wide ambient operation range

Types of DC-DC Converter-

There are two different types of DC-Dc converter

Linear DC-DC Converter Switched DC-DC Converter

Linear DC-DC Converter-

It makes use of a resistive voltage drop in order to generate and regulate a given output voltage

Switched DC-DC Converter-

It converts by storing the input energy periodically Releasing the stored energy at a different output Storage is done based on two grounds- Magnetic field component as in the case of a transformer or an inductor or electric field component such as a capacitor. Transformer provides isolation between the input and the output

Advantages of Switched DC-DC Converter

Higher Power conversion efficiency Lesser losses with higher switching frequency The output voltage can be regulated as per the requirement

Uses of DC-DC converter in Industry Prospect

Transformer-

Industrial transformers are used to meet the high current solution- It is designed to run the Electric Arc Furnaces, Ladle Furnaces, and high-current rectifier. For delivering continuous and uninterrupted electrical supply- For proper and smooth running of the industry, it is needed to feed them with continuous and uninterrupted electric supply. DC-DC converter fulfills the necessity.

For regulating the voltage fluctuation- Voltage fluctuations can lead to malfunctioning of many industrial devices. To prevent the machine to perform irregularly, DC- DC converter in form of transformer is used. Lowering the Life risk of the workers- It has been made possible by the custom current transformer in which even when the current is high, it produces a reduced current.

Uses Of DC-DC Converter In Industry Prospect

Capacitor-

Used in Power Conversion like in the devices Electronic Welders, Traction Drives, UPS systems, Power Conditioning etc Used in devices that involve Pulse Power Testing like High Power testers, magnetizing or de-magnetizing systems, underground line fault detectors etc Used in Line Frequency Induction Motors as in the case of machine tools and general purpose motors

Used in special purpose motors like switch reluctance motors Used in correcting power factors

The industrial DC-DC converter has been the major role to play in the industry sector. It has transformed the way industrialization was proceeding. It has boosted the productivity of the machines.
