SETEC’s Power Resource and Design Centre houses leading edge technology to achieve your power solutions. We have highly trained and experienced engineers, using the latest design tools to create products that suit your needs.

SETEC’s existing design platforms accelerate the design process, minimising risk and reducing cost for our customers. We offer you a complete Custom Solution, tailored specifically to your requirements.

SETEC’s power conversion capabilities include:

• PFC (continuous & critical conduction mode)
• Flyback & Forward
• Phase Shift
• Resonant
• Boost

We have designed power solutions in the range of 1.5kW to 30kW for Telcos, and 20W to 1kW for OEMS.

Our R&D team can offer you:

• Extensive experience with low EMC requirements
• Digital & Analogue control circuit expertise
• Battery Charging and Monitoring for NiMH & Lead Acid
• Expertise in product compliance – UL, CSA, CE, Nemko

Our latest research projects include:

• Proprietary variable frequency LCC resonant converter, Best Class 2000
• Extremely Low EMC converters for Radio Communications market
• Development of a Fixed Frequency Resonant Converter (supported by an R&D Start Grant from the Australian Government).

As well as power conversion technology, our team has expertise in monitoring and control applications, providing uP interface, as well as control and monitoring of intelligent power systems via in-house designed networks.

Product packaging utilises Pro/ENGINEER solid modelling and Mentor Graphics PCB design software to integrate and aid our technology implementation. This leads to ease of manufacture, providing the total solution.

Regulatory Compliance for EMC and Safety requirements are assured, providing our customers with market access. All the necessary pre-compliance testing is done in-house, with final testing, reports and certification being provided by NCB. For Telecommunication applications, stringent noise requirements are met to aid final product compliance.

SETEC’s company motto is Power. Solve. Invent.

Across many industry sectors SETEC has made advanced breakthroughs and advances in power supply technology. We have a leading power Technology Research Centre that continues to develop enhanced performance in Power Solutions. This leading edge technology has enabled the following:

• Very high efficiency, greater than 90%
• Greater power density to cost
• Reduced EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility)
• Increased product life span to five years
• We are very excited about our recent development of Fixed Frequency Resonant Conversion (FFLC ) .We have been developing this for the last four years, and in the last three years have received an R&D start grant from the federal government

Our technology has been commercialised and has enabled advances in the following areas:

• Medical uses– high power, small packaging that meets the complex leakage and isolation issues
• Telecommunications – low EMC emission which is particularly important to radio communications
• Automotive / Recreational Vehicle – high efficiency to reduce heat, cost and size
• Gaming applications – low EMC emission, flexible sizing and reliability
