Powerful Bus Bar Sizing Tool
Bus Bar Calculator is a free-access web-solution to precisely compute the key electrical specifications of laminated bus bars in the context of power converter design. Bus Bar Calculator provides all the values to help designers make bus bar in a wide variety of converters.
Features
BUS BAR DESIGN OPTIMIZATION COMPANION
- Wide variety of converter topologies
- AC & DC voltage in every node
- RMS current passing through every branches
- Fourier transform and distribution of harmonics
- Partial discharge test conditions
- Simulations as a function of electrical standards of selected applications
- Fully compliant with SiC and GaN technologies
- Fast iterations
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE SELECTION OF THE CONVERTER TOPOLOGY
Bus Bar Calculator can handle various converter topologies: DC/AC, AC/DC, DC/DC with 2-level and multilevel.
The operating point must also be filled to allow the software to correctly calculate the voltage and current in each branch.
ELECTRICAL STANDARDS AND FINAL APPLICATION AS INPUT CONDITIONS
Depending on the application, the converter doesn’t suffer from the same environmental constraints and design requirement changes. The conductive materials, comprising the bus bar and converter environments, must be entered to consider all the constraints together, from the very beginning of converter design phase, and thus optimizing the complete system.
TYPICAL OUTPUTS FROM BUS BAR CALCULATOR:
- AC & DC voltage and RMS current passing through every node
- Maximum and repetitive peak voltages between each conductor
- Fourier transform of current through AC phases
- Partial discharge test voltages according to standards
Benefits
