Efficiency measurements on electric motors

Increasingly, electric motors are controlled with variable speed drives. This is to achieve higher efficiency in control. But how efficient is this motor control actually? For accurate measurements of the entire drive, we need to measure the entire drive chain. In this example, we assume a three-phase AC supply which is rectified to a DC supply for the inverter. We (...) Read more

Charging standards

There are a large number of applicable standards in the field of electro mobility. International standards that define the requirements of all equipment to ensure safe use. Consider standards that apply when developing components such as the inlet and outlet plugs used for charging. Charging points, the electric vehicle and communication interfaces are also subject to imposed standards. Due to (...) Read more

Smart charging technologies

Will smart charging be the future? Smart Charging or smart charging is a broad term used to describe smart technologies that can remotely control the charging transaction. There is currently a rapidly increasing use of electric vehicles and simultaneous charging brings peak loads. This can cause negative impacts such as power outages on power grids and energy transmission infrastructure. However, (...) Read more
