Surface mount solder joints provide mechanical support as well as electrical continuity. In power applications using only surface mount components, the transformers and power switches are relatively large components supported only by solder joint interconnections. To effectively manage heat dissipation in a high density power converter design, encapsulation with a thermally conductive material may be required. Expansion of this encapsulating material with temperature places additional stress on SMT power component interconnections. The purpose of this paper is to alert designers to the additional development work that may be necessary when surface mounting large power components in encapsulated environments.","PeriodicalId":302790,"journal":{"name":"1986 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129554474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Power quality improvement involves the use of combinations of ac regulators, transient limiters and/or power filters. Traditional àc regulators have multiple-cycle response and cannot actively attenuate voltage transients and harmonics, and may generate low-order harmonics. The Electronic Power Conditioner (EPC) developed by Powertronic Systems, Inc. (PSI) has much shorter response time and regulates the instantaneous value of output voltage. The EPC generates no low-order harmonics, has low output impedance and actively attenuates voltage transients and harmonics. It provides superior performance and is competitive with traditional regulators in cost, size and weight.","PeriodicalId":302790,"journal":{"name":"1986 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116440258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
