Saft signs a new multi-year LTA with EADS Astrium to power all GEO satellites
Saft has signed a new multi-year LTA (Long Term Agreement) with Astrium to supply the onboard lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery modules for every Eurostar GEO (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit) communications satellite to be built over the next years. This latest LTA renews and extends the previous agreement between Saft and Astrium that commenced in 2006. The new LTA covers the supply of the onboard battery modules, built with Saft’s high-energy VES140 a...
Current Sharing for High Density DC Modules
Paralleling of DC/DC converters is often used to increase the output power capability of a single unit by connecting the outputs of two or more converters in parallel. By connecting the parallel pin of each module together, the units will share the load current equally within a few percent. This paper focuses on how N+M redundancy and Hot Plug-in capability can be achieved
