A 4 kW motor controller with DC-DC converter is to replace a standard motor (7 kW) with a customised, more efficient solution. The more specific motor requires less power (4 kW instead of 7 kW) and is operated more efficiently thanks to the higher voltage. The increased voltage not only reduces the energy loss in the system, but also enables a more compact design of motor and cabling, which saves material costs and space.

Benefits for overall operation: More efficient use of energy: As the system runs more efficiently, the energy from the battery can be used more efficiently, which increases the range and operating time.

Reduced environmental impact: The solution saves energy and therefore conserves resources.

Improved size and handling: The higher voltage reduces the current flow for the same power and thus reduces the need for heavy, large cables and components.

In principle, the concept can be applied to any electric vehicle that requires a more efficient and compact solution for energy saving and operational efficiency.

As a specialist in the development and production of motor electronics, MSB Elektronik und Gerätebau has recently made a name for itself with the realization of an innovative project. The company developed a DC asynchronous motor as a direct replacement for conventional DC motors with brushes.

This step was aimed at improving the efficiency and ease of maintenance of oil pumps for the pre-lubrication of large generators. By adapting to specific customer requirements, not only was operational reliability increased, but maintenance costs were also significantly reduced, underlining the company’s technical expertise and commitment to customized solutions.

The inductive distance measurement, designed for use in the demanding environments of power plants, is characterised by its high temperature resistance of up to 500°C. Thanks to a sophisticated, temperature-compensated measuring method, the system offers high reliability and is insensitive to environmental influences.

The recorded measured values correlate linearly with the measured distance and can be provided to the user both in the form of an analogue signal and in digital form. This flexible signal provision enables simple integration into existing systems and offers a wide range of possible applications.
