48V Inverter
Last update: 12 Jul. 2024What is a 48V inverter?
The 48V inverter, the electronic component that drives the 48V eMotor (electric motor), is able to be integrated on all architectures beyond P0 (alternator position) meaning between the engine and the gearbox or in the gearbox or on the vehicle rear axle.
Valeo produces its own electronics including the power modules based on Transfer Molded Leadframe (TML) which allow Valeo to have a multisourcing strategy on the Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET).
In addition Valeo proposes flexibility to the OEM with rear or back-pack inverter position and also on the cooling with water or oil cooled eMotor.
When associated with an internal combustion engine (ICE), for hybrid applications, the 48V hybridization can provide up to 15% fuel economy benefits on WLTP cycle compared with a conventional stop-start system. 48V can also be used for eMobility (Small mobility market) for light electric 2-, 3- or 4-wheelers.
