Enabling the next phase of EV charging station manufacturing. We tech writers often refer to “ecosystems,” and biologists may shake their heads at our appropriation of the term, but the analogy is an apt one in many ways. A biological ecosystem has its charismatic megafauna (elephants, lions, whales), but it couldn’t function without its less-glamorous… Read more »

EMC Issues For Accurately Measuring Electric Powertrain
Measuring electric motors and inverters can be extremely frustrating due to the inverter-induced noise on the measurement cabling. This can be difficult for engineers experienced in measuring inverters, and overwhelming for people new to inverters. New SiC and GaN switching devices and higher battery voltages make these measurements even more difficult. This session will go… Read more »
