            Power Electronics

            Power electronics are semi-conductor components used as power rectifier regulators and static electrical power conversion equipment, especially in uninterruptible power systems (UPSs). They also charge industrial batteries.

            Power electronics products are used in:

            • Commercial and industrial battery-powered applications (e.g., industrial truck, on- and off-road electric vehicles, and automatic guided vehicles)
            • Communication-type battery chargers for floating and charging a battery and delivering power to telecommunication loads
            • Power conversion equipment in energy producing systems of 1,000 volts and below (e.g., microturbines, photovoltaics, and utility-connected power sources)
            • Power conversion equipment in UPSs (i.e., AD/DC, DC/AC, AC/AC, and DC/DC power converters), and flywheel energy storage systems
            • UPSs that provide quality and continuity of an AC power source with a UPS made up of semiconductor AC to AC power converter systems and rotary power converters (motor-generator sets) with a dedicated DC electrical energy storage capability (battery)
            • Utility-type battery chargers that power a DC load directly

            Members influence international commerce by developing Standards that reflect the North American manufacturing market, facilitating trade through a focus on harmonization within the Americas, and reducing or eliminating tariffs on information technology equipment.
