Why line-frequency transformers fall short in AI data center power design

← Back to Infineon at OCP 2026

For electrical engineers specifying medium-voltage distribution in large-scale data centers, the conventional line-frequency transformer is increasingly the wrong tool—it cannot regulate power flow, interface with DC buses, or scale to the multi-megawatt modular blocks that AI workloads demand. Infineon engineers lay out the technical case for solid-state transformers as a direct architectural response to those gaps.
