Coreless power solution reduces time to market in demanding applications

Powerbox has released its new coreless technology platform to power medical and industrial equipment operating in very high magnetic field environments such as magnetic resonance imaging or particle accelerators. Using the latest technology in high-frequency switching topologies and digital control with proprietary firmware to optimize efficiency and voltage regulation, the company’s GB350 buck-converter module is the first building block in its category that is able to operate safely when exposed to such high radiation magnetic fields of two to four Tesla. The device delivers an output power of 350W and when higher power levels are required it can be paralleled using an interleaving mode, thus reducing EMI. “It is apt and fitting that Powerbox has achieved finalist status in the Power System Product of the Year category of the Elektra Awards for a product that is truly innovative, and it’s a strong signal that Powerbox’s clever combination of the latest technology in digital power coupled with our own advanced coreless energy transfer makes the GB350 a very important component of the Powerbox Custom Power Solution toolbox.” said Patrick Le Fèvre, chief marketing and communication officer at Powerbox. “With more than 3,500 Custom Power projects delivered to market, it is very important to have a strong platform portfolio, reducing time to market in demanding applications such as medical magnetic resonance imaging.”
