For this reason, right from the start, Sirio created a laboratory for the Technical Office, year after year enriched and updated with new instrumentation, for the design of Sirio components: those in the catalog and those created in collaboration with customers.

At a certain point this first laboratory, although so important for development activities, no longer seemed sufficient. A second laboratory was born in 2023, in a different and dedicated location.

Objective: to look for other construction types for transformers used in high frequency converters. The new laboratory therefore does not replace the first laboratory but diversifies: it is intended solely for research. Research into new materials, new construction solutions, new performances. Here we study different ways to maintain or improve the current technical characteristics of the components, at the same time reducing their final cost.

The laboratory is currently able to test prototypes inserted in converters operating at high frequency up to 250 kHz and up to 15 kW of power; the intention is to extend the power of the converters up to 50 kW.
