Power Conversion 
The power conversion market
Only 10% of motors used in industry are equipped with a drive.
At a time when everyone is looking for ways to save energy, that promises a lot of growth.
Power converters are designed for industrial processes.
This market covers everything around the electric motor: rectifiers, drives, inverters, etc.
All the big names in electrical engineering (ABB, General Electric, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Toshiba, Westinghouse…) are active on this market.
Their electrical protection supplier and partner is involved well before the sales stage, during specification, approval and expert assessment.
Power conversion is Ferraz Shawmut’s reference market.
Starting from the customer’s technical specification, Ferraz Shawmut recommends the best type of protection, and tests and proves a technical solution to meet whatever the main expectations are:
• fuses to limit fault currents;
• cooling units to limit temperature rise;
• reductions in space requirements or maintenance costs.
Our global offering, with the added value of pertinent recommendations, stands out from our more catalog-focused competitors.
