Additionally, WTI-Traction Inverters offer a high level of self-protection with both current and transistor temperature measuring locally to the IGBTs, rather than through remote components. This technique delivers fast and accurate temperature measurements, offering effective protection against adverse high-current conditions including short-circuit or thermal overload.
Advanced motor control algorithms using field-oriented control with space-vector modulation, combined with a 2-10kHz variable switching frequency means high operating efficiency and increased operation time. A fundamental frequency up to 1000Hz allows these inverters to drive high pole-pair, high-speed motors, which are popular in hybrid applications. A torque motor-control mode is also available for hybrid applications, speed mode for pure-electric applications or DC bus voltage mode. In DC bus voltage mode, the inverter can moderate adverse and damaging voltages resulting from situations including regenerative braking from high speed.
WTI-Traction Inverters offer a versatile connection to master control systems by either standard J1939 or customer-specific CANbus protocols. A customizable discrete interface also supports digital, analog and solenoid-drive control options.
A die-cast enclosure and proven, vehicle-grade connectors provide a high level of mechanical robustness, while environmental ratings of IP67 and IP69K mean the units are protected against ingress of liquids and dust. High-voltage connectors are electrically-safe, touch-proof and rapidly discharge internal high voltages at shutdown.
