Research and development of automated safety testing and certification of commercial downconverters

Alpha Technologies, a Canadian leader in power electronics, and the University of British Columbia have teamed up to develop new automated testing technologies to speed the development and certification of power supply products. The automated test systems will run the products through their paces simulating real world scenarios and environmental conditions. The ability to quickly test designs and prototypes will improve design and development time as well as improve the safety and reliability of these products that power critical equipment like small cell networks. These networks monitor telecommunication hubs and electrical sub-stations. Which constantly transmit critical data that keep our homes powered and our cell phones working. Making our world safer and helping Canada to continue to be a leader in power converter technology.
