European HEFT project targets cheaper, more efficient, power-dense motor for EVs
In a €4-million HEFT research project directed by Mondragan University, eight EU partners including GKN Automotive will create a “lower-cost, more efficient and power-dense” permanent magnet motor for EVs. HEFT is an EU Horizon 2020 project focused on designing and manufacturing EV motors with reused and recycled permanent magnets. HEFT recommends energy-efficient rare earth synchronous… Read more »
PREMO releases high-power common-mode chokes for on-board EV chargers
Spanish magnetic components manufacturer PREMO has introduced new four-phase, high-power common-mode chokes for EMC noise filtering in on-board EV chargers of up to 22 kW. The 4CMCN065R0-16H and 4CMCN065R0-32H automotive-grade chokes have a 32 mm low profile, less than 5.8 cm3 size and more than 98.5% efficiency—which makes them ideal for use in EVs where… Read more »
DENSO creates its first SiC power semiconductor inverter
Japanese automotive component manufacturer DENSO has produced its first silicon carbide (SiC) inverter. This inverter, which is used in BluE Nexus’s eAxle electric drive module, will be utilized in the Lexus RZ, an EV released in March. SiC power semiconductors have lower power loss than silicon-based devices, the company said. SiC semiconductor inverters reduced power… Read more »
