Diamond Foundry Inc. announced that it has created an electric car inverter leveraging its diamond wafer technology to enable more efficient electric cars. The power electronics unit is six times smaller than that of a Tesla 3 while delivering … [Read more...]
How does an EV inverter differ from an ICE inverter?
An inverter is a key component of an electric vehicle, providing the variable frequency 3-phase alternating current required to drive an AC motor. An internal combustion engine vehicle (ICE) does not require an inverter — rather, it uses DC supplied … [Read more...]
What is driving development of EV inverters?
EV inverters, also known as traction inverters, convert the DC electricity from the battery into the 3-phase variable frequency AC that is needed to drive the motor at a given speed. EVs use asynchronous (induction) motors, or sometimes synchronous … [Read more...]
