to preempt any unforeseen design changes following customer testing.


Five key considerations in power assembly design  Understand volumes and full application capabilities before enquiring including maintenance scheduling


 Consider design and thermal management challenges at all stages of the project


 Develop a prototype to test and refine design


 Liaise with your power assembly designer to ensure they have the skillset and expertise required for the project including any maintenance and repair work  Understand the end


application and any industry standards required
