SST · Solid-State Transformer

Solid-state transformer/power-electronics conversion from medium voltage toward a rack DC bus. About 98% is a named 400 kW prototype result; about 99% is a target, not a general shipping-product efficiency. Preserve topology, load point, voltage, and measurement boundary.

Power-electronics conversion integrating transformer isolation and voltage conversion; compare efficiency only for a named topology, rating, load point, voltage range, and measurement boundary.

Also written as: Solid-State Transformer
