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. | Amperesand infrastructure systems are built with solid-state transformer (SST) modules.
