MV Direct Conversion

A Solid-State Transformer (SST) converts utility-level medium-voltage AC directly into HVDC for distribution across the data hall.

Grid-to-chip power architecture diagram: medium-voltage utility supply converted through an Arete solid-state transformer or transformer and rectifier stage to an 800 V DC bus, feeding power supply shelves, battery backup shelves and the GPU board inside the compute rack.

Solid-State Transformer (SST)

Connects directly to the 6.6–13.8 kV or 22–35 kV medium-voltage grid and converts medium-voltage AC into a regulated 800 VDC or ±400 VDC bus. By eliminating the conventional line-frequency transformer and intermediate low-voltage AC distribution stages, the SST creates a shorter, more controllable grid-to-HVDC power path with higher power density and a smaller equipment footprint.

  • Input voltage options: 6.6–13.8 kVAC or 22–35 kVAC
  • Available in 3.15 MW and 7.2 MW configurations
  • Peak efficiency of over 98.5%
  • Regulated 800 VDC or ±400 VDC output with ±1% voltage accuracy and no more than ±0.5% ripple
  • Configurable battery storage capacity for the required backup duration
  • Configurable N+X modular power-cell redundancy
  • Optimized DC droop control for autonomous current sharing among parallel units
