Charged EVs | Ferrstron road-tests a 150 kW ferrite-magnet motor that uses no rare earths

Indian electric powertrain developer Ferrstron Powertrains has road-tested a prototype 150 kW, 400 Nm powertrain in a 2.3-ton multi-utility vehicle. The powertrain’s motor uses ferrite magnets instead of rare earth magnets. Ferrstron is developing electric...

Charged EVs | A new solution for flame-retardant tapes in EVs and energy storage applications: CleanTape® FR (Webinar)

As EV adoption accelerates, battery safety is more important than ever. In this presentation, we introduce Mactac CleanTape® FR, a portfolio of non-halogenated flame-retardant adhesive tapes designed to help manufacturers improve battery pack safety while...

Charged EVs | Lowering iron loss in EV motors: new model maps how maze-like magnetic domains reverse in soft magnets

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have developed a computational model that can trace how intricate “maze domain” structures in soft magnetic materials reverse their magnetization—and identify the energy barriers that drive that process. The goal is to...

Charged EVs | Webinar: Sustaining high-temperature DC-link film for 800V+ SiC Inverters

A technical look at NanoPlex™ LDF and the Power Ring Platform 800V+ SiC inverters place demands on DC-link capacitors that conventional dielectric films cannot meet. Advanced Conversion has addressed this for years through its patented Power Ring platform,...
