Standards for Power Electronics Gration D’silva Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79401 USA Telephone: (806) 773-4727; E-mail: gration.dsilva@ttu.edu Abstract— this paper presents a brief overview of standards for power electronics. All the standards presented in this paper are currently active and are approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer Standards Association (IEEE-SA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Keywords—IEEE Standards, ANSI, Power Electronics I. INTRODUCTION The tremendous advancements in modern technology have necessitated the regulation of these technologies so that they meet the required threshold as set by the standardization bodies like the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer Standards Association (IEEE-SA), American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever a new product is launched it has to meet the standards so that they perform as intended. This is very important for the safety of the users and their environment, facilitate interoperability, uniformity in design, testing methods, installation and help make our lives easier. The purpose of standards is to establish certain quality to meet technical, safety, societal, regulatory and market needs. Also standards are the catalysts for technological innovation which are developed based on guiding principles of consensus, due process and within the ethical limits [1]. Standards help making our lives
Why are standards so important for NICs, connectors, and media? Use your textbook and Internet research to justify your answer.
➢ For innovators of new technologies, International Standards on aspects like terminology, compatibility and safety speed up the dissemination of innovations and their development into manufacturable and marketable products.
Creating a standard is a means of locking in clients. This means creating something that no one else does or has. It is an effective way of capitalizing on a certain market.
Compliance with industry standards (including system engineering processes, design procedures, emission frequency levels, building codes and materials).
the entire application life cycle and controls all Relion protection at all voltage levels. This
All hardware and software have differing platforms and models, are guided by differing policies, have varying versions, and have different compatibilities. Standardization helps in bringing the various hardware and software on the same page in terms of configuration and compatibility. This makes it easier to identify problems, seek support, and resolve issues as standardized components are guided by common standards. This helps in saving a lot of time and money on support and troubleshooting. By standardizing software and hardware, problem investigation and resolution becomes easier, replacing parts or devices is convenient, and it helps save time, money, and
The law should compel all the manufacturers to abide by the safety and quality standards. Any manufacturer who is found culpable of violating these rules should face stiffer penalty including revocation of trading license. Moreover, all products must be tested against the quality and safety standards before they are released on the market.
As new technologies develop and become mainstream over time, there needs to be specific regulations in place. It is best if these sets of regulations are developed and maintained independently from battery manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, and/or suppliers. Currently today there are many bodies that maintain these standards. A few of them include UL (Underwriters Laboratories), IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), UN (United Nations), IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards or Japanese Standards Association), GB (Guo Biao or National Standard for the People’s Republic of China), US DOT FMVSS ( Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations), and BATSO (Battery Safety Organization). These organizations set the standards to help minimize safety risks which include but are not limited to fire, explosion, and shock. These standards are in place to try and assess the safety risk associated with these new technologies and to help engineer them to be safer. This research paper will focus on the UN ECE 100 standards, FMVSS 305, and UN 38.3.
The material presented here is based on my understanding and personal interpretation of the several standards and code. It should not be used as a substitute for the official publication's content that supersedes any information presented here. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information offered, the reader is reminded that the various standards and the code sections undergo frequent periodic revision. Consequently, while the base content of these documents and this book are relatively enduring, refinements and additions are inevitable. Interested and dedicated readers are strongly encouraged to periodically review current versions of the official publications in order to stay fully and accurately
Standards define the minimum, baseline procedures, practices, and configurations for systems, applications, controls, networks, and related topics. They are designed to provide a single reference point for use during software development and adoption, installation of systems and tools, and during the contracts process with vendors and service providers.
Standards are also a vital engineering requirement that help ensure the health and safety of any products that are designed, produced, and presented to the market by engineers. Without having a plan to meet a criteria of standards, your product could be a huge safety hazard and unfit for release. We identified and described the different standards that influence our design project in Appendix B.
As the voice of the U.S. standards and conformity assessment system, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) empowers its members and constituents to strengthen the U.S. marketplace position in the global economy while helping to assure the safety and health of consumers and the protection of the environment. The Institute oversees the creation and use of thousands of guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock production to energy distribution, and many more. ANSI is also actively engaged in accrediting programs that assess conformance to standards – including globally-recognized cross-sector programs
In this argument I will be explaining the relevance of the GE Fanuc, Inc. reasons behind the spearheading of a critical project for the accessibility of implementing quality components into an already quality product. I will also exhibit the complexity of benchmarking such a project, its necessity, and the complexities that were involved in its rudiments. The reasons for the GE Fanuc, Inc. to integrate the Nu-Ai into its already finished product as opposed to cheaper and older models. The effective results for the testing of these products and the statistical significance obtained from an ANOVA analytical test. Even more, I will argue the direction of the GE Fanuc, Inc. should it desire to continue its testing with its current sources.
