If “AI” continues to be the buzzword capturing today’s news headlines, then Solid State Transformers (SSTs) might be up next in the limelight – and for good reason. As AI scales, a greater lens is on the upstream power sources that are expected to keep up with rapidly expanding data center deployments.
One could argue that the race to commercialization for medium voltage-capable, multi-megawatt solid-state transformers (SST) to solve this power problem is an achievement in and of itself. But given the relative reliability of traditional transformers and electrical equipment for AI loads, SSTs will need to demonstrate a high bar of reliability to achieve commercial success.
Enter Amperesand
Amperesand has been developing medium voltage (MV) to direct current (DC) SST technology for a decade in Singapore. In the past two years the company has dramatically accelerated development, bringing to market their 3rd generation SST purpose built for AI factories, building across their rapidly growing design and manufacturing sites in Reno, NV, San Francisco, and Singapore.
Amperesand’s deep SST development foundation has been strengthened by a diverse team with demonstrated experience developing and scaling energy products to mass deployment across Tesla, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Eaton, ABB and others.
Amperesand is focused on critical power for AI factory loads, commercializing the first medium voltage SST-to-rack power solution capable of providing 5-10MW of modular power conversion for the emerging 800 VDC AI compute ecosystem. Their newest product is setting multiple industry benchmarks in reliability, power capacity, power density, efficiency, cost, and safety.
Reliability is the fundamental requirement of critical power systems, and Amperesand is designing and testing to demonstrate 15+ year lifetime for the SST with components that enable this demanding reliability need.
