Despite possibly higher Investment Costs: Reliable devices are less expensive!
Since the costs of a failure just in the industry are often a muliple of the product price
Our approaches, in order to obtain advantages by low failure costs
- Simple circuits with small number of components
- No use of circuits with principly short lifetime (e.g. flyback converter)
- No use of elements with limited life span, or only in particularly long-live construction (in particular with electrolytic capacitors)
- Oversizing regarding current-, voltage- and temperature resistance
- Overvoltage protection mechanisms
- Careful testing
