A high-frequency SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) takes standard AC power and converts it into a low-ripple, high-voltage DC output at switching frequencies of tens of kilohertz. Compared to traditional transformer–rectifier (T/R) sets, these modern SMPS solutions:
- Provide higher average voltages to end devices.
- Offer more compact, lighter designs, reducing installation costs.
- Improve power factor and reduce energy losses.
NovaKraft™ further refines these advantages by using silicon carbide transistors for enhanced thermal performance, higher switching speeds, and better reliability than typical IGBT-based solutions.
- Optimized for electrostatic precipitators
- Designed to help operators meet stricter emission regulations in power, marine, cement, pulp & paper, metals, and more.
- Smooth high-voltage output for better dust-collection efficiency.
- Superior SiC performance
- Built around silicon carbide from the ground up, achieving better efficiency and less heat generation than conventional IGBT SMPS units.
- Compact & universal design
- Horizontal or vertical mounting for easy fit in tight spaces.
- Modular enclosure for quick maintenance and minimal downtime.
- Advanced digital controls
- Real-time data monitoring, 7″ touchscreen interface, remote diagnostics, and support for major industrial protocols (Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, Profibus, etc.).
- Energy savings & reduced OPEX
- High power factor near unity and lower ripple voltage cut wasted energy, thus reducing operational expenses.
