Inverters and converters
When it comes to designing inverters and converters for a diverse range of electronic applications, we’ve got a strong track record.
Our specialist team can design bespoke inverters and converters to suit your specific project requirements. We have designed inverters and converters for both low battery applications through to 11 kV systems.
We can also integrate off the shelf electronic devices, utilising our extensive experience to avoid any potential EMC problems while operating the devices optimally.
Some of the inverter and converter types we have worked with include:
- Buck
- Boost
- Forward
- Flyback
- Buck-boost
- Synchronous
- Inverting buck-boost
- SEPIC
- CUK
- Push-pull
- LLC and LCC resonant converters
- Quasi-sine and true sine-wave
- Half-bridge
- Full-bridge
- 3-phase
- Isolated output inverters.
Our consultants have a wealth of experience in designing converters and inverters for high efficiency and high power-density applications. These are often used to maximise battery life and performance in portable battery-powered devices.
When working with high power-density applications, it is essential to consider thermal management. Our experience in this area allows us to ensure we can manage the thermals correctly. We have designed thermal management systems that use forced-air, passive and liquid cooling.
Variable speed/frequency drives
Motor control solutions, including variable speed devices (VSD), variable frequency devices (VFD), and soft starters can be used in a range of systems to optimise energy conservation, performance, efficiency, and costs.
We can design all types of drives, including VFD, VSD, star-delta and soft-starting, stepper and motion controllers, manufactured to fit a wide range of applications in various market segments.
Our engineers have experience working with vector control, PI and PID control, open loop (V-f curve) and positioning (optical, Hall effect, quadrature encoding) solutions.
We have a comprehensive understanding of all motor types, including induction, brushed and brushless AC and DC, servo, permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), squirrel cage, 3‑phase and single-phase motors.
Our variable speed/frequency drive services include:
- Single and multiphase high frequency
- BLDC
- Induction
- DC vector control
- V-f
Lithium batteries
We design and manufacture lithium batteries, as well as custom battery packs and chargers to meet your bespoke requirements.
From single cells to large high-voltage packs, we have a thorough understanding of battery technology and integration to devices. So, if you’re looking for support with any element of lithium battery design or manufacture, we can help.
Our specialist power electronics engineers can support with every aspect of lithium battery design, from safety and manufacturing techniques, BMU/PCMs, protection circuits, and thermal management. We also have a wealth of experience dealing with charging technologies, including fast charging, and advanced charging techniques.
Our lithium battery services include:
- Battery safety and management circuits
- Multi-cell and fast charging technologies
- Protection circuits
- Thermal management
- Pack design and manufacturing techniques
- Design for high pulsed load
- Cell selection
