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. Resolver, UVW hall effect sensors, Sin/Cos sensors and incremental AB encoders
