Facing range and motor control issues in light EVs? This inverter design claims to cut redesign work and speed up development.

Silicon carbide (SiC) power devices have been commercially available for ten years. During that time, there has been a steady increase in voltage ratings to 1,200 V and 1,700 V for SiC-Schottky diodes ...

This teardown article will delve into the architectural design and components of a solar inverter card starting from the Solar panel DC inputs and working our way through the DC to AC conversion ...

A large portion of design for recycling concerns product assembly. Gluing parts together can mean that they cannot be separated cost efficiently, or ever again at all. Push-fit connections are the ...

A proposed photovoltaic current-source gridconnected inverter has small volume, low total harmonic distortion, high power factor and simple control, and also simplifies photovoltaic system design. The ...

An international research group has developed a new kind of Aalborg inverter for high-power electronics applications. They claim it has lower ripple content and better system performance. Aalborg ...

Improving the modern electric drivetrain isn't easy, but it's certainly worthwhile. It's rewarding too, for any one entering the Google and IEEE 'Littlebox Challenge'--a competition to design a ...

A Solis inverter assembly line. Image: Ginlong Solis. Essentially the brains of a PV plant, inverters’ key function remains the conversion of DC power to AC. However, their design and configuration is ...

Fifth generation technology improves the characteristics of fourth generation IGBT and (free-wheeling diode) FWD devices, both switching behavior and electrical losses are improved. Furthermore, an ...
