Chile presents some of the world's most demanding physical and electrical landscapes for power electronics—from the hyper-arid, high-altitude Atacama Desert to coastal salt spray and high seismic risk zones.
Major mining operators (including Codelco, BHP Escondida, and Collahuasi) operate extraction plants at elevations exceeding 4,000 meters above sea level. At these altitudes, thin air reduces convection heat dissipation by up to 35% and drastically decreases dielectric breakdown strength (paschen's law). Our high-voltage DC-DC converters feature reinforced clearance/creepage spacing and advanced synchronous rectification to prevent flashover and thermal shutdown.
Northern Chile boasts the world's highest solar irradiance (GHI > 2,500 kWh/m²). Utility-scale solar plants and associated BESS systems experience extreme thermal cycling—swings from sub-zero night temperatures to over 45°C ambient daytime heat. Our AC-DC PFC modules and DC-DC converters utilize potted, conduction-cooled aluminum baseplates that eliminate mechanical fan failures caused by airborne desert dust.
To combat water scarcity, copper operations rely heavily on reverse-osmosis desalination along coastal ports such as Antofagasta, Mejillones, and Patache. High concentrations of airborne salt mist and chemical reagents rapidly degrade standard industrial power supplies. Our IP68-rated and hermetically sealed power modules provide total immunity to salt fog corrosion and mold growth.
Chile aims to produce the world's cheapest green hydrogen by 2030 in Magallanes and Antofagasta. Electrolyzers and power conditioning units require high-current DC-DC isolated bus converters with active power factor correction to maintain harmonic distortion (THD) below 3% under fluctuating wind and solar feeds.
The unification of the Northern (SING) and Central (SIC) grids into the Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional (SEN) system has heightened grid-code compliance. Industrial facilities require power supplies engineered to handle rapid frequency drift, voltage sags, and high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission transients along the Kimal-Lo Aguirre corridor.
Electrical switchgear and critical power back-ups deployed by Endesa, Transelec, and major mining consortia must withstand ground accelerations up to 0.5g. Our rugged power systems undergo rigorous shock and vibration testing to ensure structural integrity during major seismic events.
Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies deployed across the Salar de Atacama demand non-stop, continuous DC power. Power conversion equipment must provide high mean time between failures (MTBF > 1,500,000 hours) with modular hot-swappable architectures to prevent operational halts.

In high-altitude mining applications across the Chilean Andes (such as Chuquicamata, El Teniente, and Los Pelambres), traditional power supplies frequently experience catastrophic failure due to inadequate thermal management. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure drops, leading to a significant reduction in air density. At 4,000 meters altitude, air density is roughly 65% of sea-level value.
Convective heat transfer is directly proportional to air density. Consequently, a conventional power converter operating at full load will suffer an internal junction temperature rise that exceeds semiconductor ratings, leading to thermal thermal runaway. To offset this, traditional manufacturers heavily derate power output—sometimes by as much as 40%—or add loud, high-power cooling fans that quickly clog with abrasive conductive silica and copper dust.
The SynQor Engineering Approach: By commercializing synchronous rectification technology, lossy Schottky diodes are replaced with high-performance, low Rds(on) MOSFETs driven by proprietary switching algorithms. Conduction losses within the conversion stage drop exponentially ($P = I^2 R$). Combined with a two-stage power converter architecture, total internal power dissipation is minimized. Heat is efficiently conducted away from critical silicon via an integrated aluminum baseplate directly to the system enclosure chassis. This conduction-cooled paradigm allows our modules to deliver 100% rated power even in the rarefied atmosphere of high-altitude Chilean mines without relying on open-air mechanical ventilation.
Chile's industrial electrical backbone operates at 50Hz, subject to severe voltage fluctuations and harmonic pollution caused by mega-watt scale variable frequency drives (VFDs), arc furnaces, and heavy haulage electric trolley lines. When integrating high-voltage DC-DC bus converters or uninterruptible power systems into critical signaling, telecommunications, or SCADA cabinets, EMI compliance is mandatory.
Our comprehensive line of transient EMI filters (such as the MCOTS-F series) and power factor correction front-ends (MPFIC) are qualified as single unified filter-converter chains. This pre-characterized integration guarantees compliance with MIL-STD-461 (C-F), EN 50155, and RTCA DO-160 standards out of the box—eliminating months of costly EMC troubleshooting during field commissioning in Chile.
