GE’s Critical Power Business Introduces High-Efficiency, 600-Watt Bus Converters – Nov 08, 2013– Dallas, USA (Techreleased) – GE’s Critical Power business  today introduced its new QBVE060A0S10R4 625-watt (W) and the QBVS050A0B 600-W, quarter-brick bus converters. These new modules are part of the company’s Barracuda product series of fully regulated DC/DC power devices. Each of GE’s new bus converters improve power density by more than 50 percent compared to industry-standard 400-W bus converters. In addition, the new bus converters deliver highly efficient power to the load—with efficiencies exceeding 96 percent. This industry leading power density and efficiency enables information technology infrastructure, such as servers and routers, to perform at exceptionally high levels.
