PowerModule™ Power Converters

Industry-leading Power System Building Blocks

As the pace of energy innovation accelerates, you’ll find AMSC PowerModule™ Power Converters on the leading edge of new technology development and renewable energy integrations. Click on these links to learn about:

PM1000 Power Converters
This fully integrated, intelligent and modular converter significantly reduces development costs and time to market for power systems across the spectrum of industries and applications.

PM3000W
Designed with the needs of wind farm operators in mind, PM3000W converters enable rapid power system development, compliant grid integration and optimal power quality.

Developer Kits
A robust GUI enables engineers to rapidly configure hardware and software to develop and optimize power systems.

A proven platform, with customizable configuration.
OEMs, VARs, system integrators and end users must rapidly develop power systems in order to get their products to market and maintain their competitive edges.

Regarded as a standard, proven building block, PowerModule power converters support a systematic development approach by reducing the amount of unknown variables. They can be quickly configured to meet both hardware and software needs — making them ideal platforms for evaluating new technologies in power switches, thermal designs and control strategies. As a result, engineers can focus on key technology unknowns — accelerating the development of electric power systems.
