Amperesand is a Singapore-based startup developing a medium-voltage solid-state transformer. They were spun out of [[Nanyang Technological University]] (NTU) through a pilot programme between [[Nanyang Technological University|NTU]], the [[National University of Singapore]], and [[Temasek]]. ==Technology== Amperesand infrastructure systems are built with solid-state transformer (SST) modules. Each module contains silicon carbide (SiC) devices and proprietary high-frequency transformers that are significantly more efficient, flexible, and resilient than traditional transformers. This modularity also allows scaling for various applications. The product also cuts installation labour by half and shortens the time to power by 10x<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Ruoxue |first=Goh |date=2025-11-19 |title=Temasek leads US$80 million funding in power infrastructure provider Amperesand |url=https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/temasek-leads-us80-million-funding-power-infrastructure-provider-amperesand |access-date=2025-11-26 |website=The Business Times |language=en}}</ref>.
