HOOK

As vehicles become increasingly electrified and connected, efficient power conversion is essential for supporting onboard electronics and charging systems. Automotive on-board AC-DC power inverters play a key role by converting electrical power between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), enabling battery charging, accessory power, and advanced electrical functions in electric and hybrid vehicles.

HISTORY / OVERVIEW

Automotive on-board AC-DC power inverter is a critical component in modern vehicle electrical architectures. Depending on the application, these systems may convert AC power from an external charging source into DC power to charge the vehicle's battery, or convert DC battery power into AC power for onboard electrical loads and external power outlets.

In battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and some commercial vehicles, advanced power electronics enable efficient energy conversion while supporting safe and reliable operation.

As electric and hybrid vehicles become more prevalent, efficient thermal management has become increasingly important for vehicle performance, battery life, and passenger comfort. Automotive e-compressors are electrically driven compressors that support air conditioning and thermal management systems independently of the vehicle's engine, making them well-suited for electrified mobility.

HISTORY / OVERVIEW

Automotive e-compressor replaces or complements traditional belt-driven compressors by using an electric motor to compress refrigerant. Because they operate independently of engine speed, e-compressors can provide cooling even when the engine is off, which is particularly important for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).

Beyond cabin climate control, e-compressors are increasingly used to help regulate the temperature of batteries, electric motors, and power electronics.
