In electric vehicles (EVs), inverters are responsible for converting direct current (DC) from the vehicle’s battery into alternating current (AC) to power the motor. This is fundamental for EVs as motors typically rely on AC to achieve optimal operation.
Reliable inverters are essential to maintaining high vehicle performance, energy efficiency, and consistent power delivery, underscoring their importance in the smooth functioning of EV systems.
Let’s talk more about EV inverters in detail.
How Do EV Inverters Work?
EV inverters act as the bridge between the EV battery and the motor. Their primary function is to convert and regulate the electricity flowing from the battery to the motor, thereby facilitating the propulsion of the vehicle. This process ensures the right type and amount of current reaches the motor according to driving conditions.
The following are the different types of inverters in EVs:
- Single-Phase Inverters: Commonly used in smaller EVs, these inverters are simpler and typically less costly.
- Three-Phase Inverters: Found in high-performance EVs, these inverters offer more robust power and torque control, contributing to better driving dynamics.
ENNOVI’s busbar solutions significantly enhance the performance of both single-phase and three-phase inverters. The Phase Busbar, for example, reduces energy loss by optimizing current flow, while the Power Filter Module minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability.
