Eaton announced its eMobility business has developed compact power-dense automotive inverters capable of increasing the range of electric vehicles. The inverters, which draw electricity from the battery and control how it is applied to the motor to manage power and torque, will be tested by a global automaker in the first quarter 2019. Leveraging Eaton’s expertise in high-voltage power management, eMobility developed the vehicle inverters with a power density of 35 kilowatts per liter and 98% operating efficiency. The inverter’s high-power density and compact, lightweight design help maximize range while taking up minimal space in the vehicle. Eaton has an extensive background in vehicle electrification, providing high-voltage, fast-acting fuses in nearly 50% of electrified cars and power electronics globally on a leading European battery-electric vehicle platform. With more than 15 years of experience in developing commercial vehicle hybrid systems, Eaton has a number of vehicle electrification products in the market, including DC/DC converters, power distribution units, battery-electric transmissions and high-voltage fuses.
