Avionics / Defense
Avionics/Defense Modular Power Architecture![]() Since the beginning of the 90’s with the introduction of the COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) philosophy in US and modular power architecture the use of standard modules has become of more importance to design complex power supplies. The most common standard input voltages in Avionics and Defense applications are 24, 28, 270 Vdc or 115 VAC within a permanent variation of 16-40 Vdc or 70-180 VAC to meet worldwide standards. Drop out down to 0VDC and transients also have to be covered. EMI compliance is of primary importance as described in the widely used MIL-STD-461 or DO-160 standards. To cope with these particular requirements, Gaia Converter proposes typical Off-The-Shelf modular power architecture :
Whatever your power system´s need, Gaia Converter has a modular architecture using standard products to provide an instant solution to a wide range of applications from on-board computers, man-machine interface and communication systems. |

Transportation Modular Power Architecture
![]() Rail transportation power supplies have been subjected to stringent requirements including transient, energetic spikes and hold up specifications. Traditionally a majority of these power supplies have been developed specifically with discrete components. Since the mid 90’s with the introduction of modular systems, the use of standard DC/DC modules have gained importance. The standard input voltages in rail applications are 72 VDC or 110 VDC as in signalling applications. The 24 VDC is a variation described in the widely used EN50155 standard. Fast and energetic spikes are of primarily importance and need to be handled with sufficient protections. The power requirements generally range from 4W up to 200W per board. To cope with these particular requirements, Gaia Converter proposes typical off-the-shelf modular power architecture :

Industrial
Industrial Modular Power Architecture
![]() Industrial applications cover 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 extensively 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 delivers 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 and discharge is of primary importance and is described in the EN61000 standards. To cope with these particular requirements, Gaia Converter proposes typical off-the-shelf modular power architecture :
