DESC:A POWER CONVERTER AND SYSTEM THEREOF
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a power converter system having a power converting device adapted to maintain self-body temperature within a predetermined range of limits to perform desired operation.
Background of the Invention
There is always a battery associated with a motorcycle which is responsible for supplying power in different parts of the vehicle. Usually battery designed for a two wheeler vehicle has a potential to store a high amount of energy but it is not capable of directly supplying power to different equipment of the vehicle according to their threshold or sustaining capacity. So there is a need of some device which could convert and transmit high power supply from battery into low power as per the requirement of different power driven components of the vehicle. There have been such devices in the past which was capable of receiving high DC voltage power from the battery source and convert it to the low DC voltage power and supply the same to the different parts of the vehicle that runs with the help of electricity. DC power voltage from battery source is converted into different voltage values according to the requirement of each of the electricity driven parts and transmit the same to the corresponding parts. The major challenge that comes in this process is the temperature maintenance of the device during the voltage power conversion, usually the device gets heated up so much that the device doesn’t function as desired.
In order to overcome the above problem, there have been various attempts being made in respect of controlling the temperature of the device capable of converting energy.
Thus, it is evident from the above paragraphs that putting a power converting device into a motorcycle in a traditional manner is a costly affair and not very much efficient in terms of maintaining the device’s temperature. Another disadvantage of the prior arts was that the systems were not service friendly and requires a lot of effort for the maintenance of the vehicle due to the complex placement and structure of the device.
It was therefore desirable to devise a device which could solve the problems associated with the paradigm explained in the above paragraphs and overcome the drawbacks associated with other prior arts.
