Industrial applications covered an extremely wide spectrum of applications from low requirements in automation robotics, test equipment up to stringent constraints of transient and EMI in power plant and electricity distribution systems. DC/DC modules have been intensively used since 20 years at the point of load i.e on the board at the point of use, leaving the transients and EMI constraints away from the modules. GAIA Converter has brought on the market modular solutions for those stringent requirements.
The traditional DC input voltages in industrial applications are ranging from 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 48 VDC and 125 VDC. EMI requirements are described in the EN55022 standard with 2 levels class A for Industrial environment and class B for Domestic environment.
Susceptibility covering fast transient, repetitive surge, discharge, ... is of primarily importance and are described in the EN61000 standards.

To cope with these particular requirements, GAIA Converter proposes typical off-the-shelf modular power architecture :

• Essential functions such as susceptibility fast transient, according to EN61000-4-5 EMI class A according to EN55022 are provided by standard “protection filter” : LGDS series.

• EMI to EN55022 class B is provided by standard “EMI filter”.

• For the heart of a the power system, GAIA Converter offers a complete series of low profile, cost-effective and high performance modules that come in multiple combinations of input voltages, output possibilities and power ratings : MGDI series.
