       AC traction inverter will take your traction battery DC power and convert it to the three phase AC power to drive AC induction, PM synchronous or hybrid motor. In these AC inverters required output is constantly calculated based upon the accelerator pedal potentiometer position (power demand), signal from the motor shaft rotation speed and direction sensor (built into the motor), and signal from optional brake potentiometer.

All inverters featured on this site are liquid cooled, provide regenerative braking recuperating energy back into the traction battery when vehicle decelerates. The output power stage is implemented with IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors). Currently several MES-DEA models and one BRUSA model are offered.

MES-DEA - TIM series with self-tuning ability: TIM300 (30kW), TIM-400 (50 kW) and TIM600 (100kW) peak power. BRUSA - DMC series - DMC524 106kW inverters with most sophisticated motor control. These inverters are capable of running BRUSA induction or hybrid motors.

Inverters can be supplemented with reliable special TPS (throttle position sensor) designed to work in such application manufactured by Wabash technologies (sold separately). Sensor has redundant elements, integrated switches and return spring, and meant to be installed directly in the stock accelerator pedal assembly.

Communication with a PC for initial inverter programming and set up is implemented via RS-232C interface.

All inverters meant to work with respective manufacturer's motors only. 2 years warranty.
