GE’s Critical Power business today introduced its new ERCW003A6R 100-W, one-eighth brick dc-dc converters, the latest addition to its Orca™-series family of isolated, board-mounted power amplifier modules. The new high-efficiency converters provide high-voltage and high-power applications with up to 3.6 Adc output current at a nominal output voltage of 28Vdc. The ERCW003A6R modules incorporate the latest in technology and component and process standardization, enabling GE to offer customers a cost-effective dc-dc converter with one of the highest efficiency ratings available in the industry today. The new modules have a typical efficiency of 93% at full load and a nominal output voltage of 28Vdc.

The output range of the dc-dc converters can be trimmed from 15 volts to 35.2 volts, enabling the unit to be incorporated into a broad range of applications. In addition, with a maximum output ripple of 40mV rms, GE’s ERCW003A6R helps reduce the need for external filtering capacitors and overall system cost.
