High power inverter production

Will a new high-voltage inverter brick be made by a Chinese automaker?

ROHM Semiconductor, in collaboration with German automotive giant Schaeffler, has begun mass production of a next-generation high-voltage inverter brick built with ROHM's silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET bare chips. The product, developed as part of their strategic partnership, is already slated for integration by a leading Chinese automaker.

Why is Schaeffler launching a high voltage inverter brick?

With the launch of volume production of the high voltage inverter brick in Tianjin, China, Schaeffler has reached an important milestone in its electrification strategy. This first volume production is for a leading Chinese car manufacturer that is going to equip its new electric vehicle models with ultra-modern inverter brick technology.

Why do inverters provide reactive power?

Inverters supply reactive power as one of their most critical grid roles. Voltage, the force that propels electric charge, and current, the movement of electric charge, are continually exchanging positions on the grid. When voltage and current are synchronized, electrical power reaches its maximum level.

What is a next generation inverter?

The next-generation inverter is an essential part of the distributed generation (DG) interface since it raises the utility grid's reliability and efficiency . The next generation of inverters will need to have better qualities. They will need to be self-governing, self-adapting, self-securing, and self-healing.
