New international regulations on motor energy efficiency are accelerating the migration from fixed speed, direct online induction motors to inverter controlled machines. This trend in motor efficiency requirements has been pushing many equipment manufacturers away from direct off-line motors to inverter-based solutions. The various architectures of these solutions, along with their drive and signal isolation requirements are the topics addressed in this article.
Residential Energy Storage Solutions (ESS) are not only applied in industrial and power generation settings but have also become crucial in the residential sector, reflecting current applications and market trends. While residential ESS solutions require lower power, the demands for efficiency and safety remain comparable to industrial applications. This article will introduce you to the market trends in residential ESS solutions and the functional features of the SiC-related solutions introduced by Arrow and Rohm.
