Power electronics.

Our expertise in power electronics.

As your reliable partner in hardware development, we offer specialised solutions in embedded electronics and power electronics. Our tailor-made development process is geared towards our customers' individual goals and takes into account essential factors such as time-to-market, component availability, cost-efficient production and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Our expertise lies in meeting high security requirements in functional safety and explosion protection. Together with our experienced EMS partners, we are able to produce prototypes quickly and efficiently.

Thanks to our extensive experience in numerous projects, we minimise project risks and ensure a smooth development process. We conduct accompanying tests in our laboratories to maximise the chances of success for product certification. These tests also include testing the power electronic assemblies and drive systems under full load operation up to 100kW. Trust in our expertise to implement your projects successfully and future-proof them.

We also provide support with qualified troubleshooting in existing products and product maintenance.

  • Production
    • Under our careful coordination, our prototypes are manufactured during the development phase by a network of competent EMS partner companies. At this stage, we already provide the necessary testing equipment for both sample and subsequent series production. Once the pilot series has been completed, our respective partner company takes over responsibility for series production, so that the customer always has a single point of contact for all matters. The selection of the EMS service provider is made in close consultation with our customers.

Developed highly available products.

Highly available systems must function reliably at all times. Our secure power electronic solutions help minimise downtime and maximise availability:

  • Development of decentralised drive solutions
  • Development of components for highly available and robust drive systems
  • Development of control and drive systems in offshore wind power plants
  • Implementation of reliable drive controls in poorly accessible power grids
  • Integration of independent power supplies (UPS) in rough environments
  • Developments in DC bus systems/DC micro grids
  • Predictive maintenance solutions
  • Creation of digital twins for drive and system optimisation

ePCDP (embeX Power Conversion Development Platform)

embeX's proprietary, modular rapid prototyping platform for modern transducer technologies:

Enables rapid implementation and feasibility studies for innovative converter technologies up to a power class of 20 kW. In addition to classic semiconductor modules in IGBT, SiC and GaN technology, buried semiconductors in 1200V SiC and 650V GaN technology can also be tested.

An initial prototype implementation enables the technological verification of an industrial converter with a rated power of 20 kW that generates a sinusoidal output current without its own sine filter at the output.
