The power electronics pattern language is the language that allows the composition of a Universal Power Supply – a device that powers any electrical devices such as: induction furnace, welder, laser cutter, plasma cutter, inverter, converter, charger, wind turbine charge controller, electric motor controller, and others. The Power Electronics Construction Set (PECS) is the set of techniques and tools for building such a Universal Power Supply. The pattern involved is:
- Allowance for quick-connect input and output of electrical power of any magnitude, including DC and AC of any frequency
- All functionality occurs via plug-in 'black boxes' of functionality
- All control of current, voltage, frequency, and timing occurs internally via a number of modules with quick-connect inputs and outputs
- Current and voltage magnitude scaling is achieved by plug-in addition of components, such as transistors
- Repair of sensitive components is achievable via plug-in of components
- Mechanical clamp-down secures sensitive components and heat sinks
- Scalable cooling mechanism is achieved via plug-in fans or liquid cooling.]]
