Wavesculptor Motor Drive

The WaveSculptor motor drive is a high performance three-phase 20kW inverter, converting a high-voltage DC bus into an AC waveform to operate a motor. It provides an off-the-shelf solution for light electric vehicle drive systems, combining advanced high-power technology with intelligent software. A large amount of development time has been devoted to the control software and user interface, making the WaveSculptor compatible with a wide range of electric motors, and easy to use for non-technical customers.
