AC Motor Controller Gen4 Size 8
AC Motor Controller Gen4 Size 8
An AC motor controller designed to meet the high performance requirements of on-road and off-road Electric (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV).
A compact, rugged and cost effective design, the Gen4 Size 8 is well suited for EV OEMs, EV conversions and EV drive train system integrators. Its high voltage range, up to 400V DC, is well matched to the needs of the automotive and commercial transport markets.
The same hardware platform handles both AC Induction and Permanent Magnet AC motor technologies.
Integrated I/O
The Gen4 Size 8 includes a fully-integrated set of inputs and outputs (I/O) designed to handle a wide range of vehicle functions.
This eliminates the need for additional external I/O modules or vehicle controllers and connectors.
