Modern inverters are including more intelligent features to work with other vehicle systems, reports Peter Donaldson
Inverters do the conceptually straightforward job of converting an electric current from DC into AC form. As such, they create an essential link between the energy storage system and the motor.
Modern inverters use solid-state semiconductor switches, connected to form combinations of half-bridges and activated by smaller switching circuits known as gate drivers, which in turn are under the control of processors that implement control logic embodied in hardware, software or both. Read more…
