Breakthrough technologies in capacitor solutions for power electronics in EVs
Power capacitor technologies affect every vehicle and charger in the electromobility industry.
Join this session at the Charged Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, presented by TDK Electronics, where we will discuss the latest breakthrough technologies in film, aluminum and ceramic capacitors solutions and show real-world case studies for power capacitor use in on- and off-board chargers, traction converters, DC/DC conversion, and EMI and Power Filtering. We will discuss miniaturization, thermal management, and solutions to common problems, including special mechanical designs and improvements in reliability.
Other sessions at our Fall Virtual Conference include:
Power HIL Solutions for Power Electronics Testing
Electric powertrains and inverters are safety-critical components (ISO 26262) that require comprehensive, automated testing at the power level. These inverters can be tested without a real motor at full power using dSPACE Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems. Our Power HIL systems combine the flexibility of established HIL systems and real energy flow of mechanical test benches.
Join this session to find out what advantages you can derive from a model-based simulation approach that allows motor parameter variation with the click of a mouse and outstanding emulation precision through our patented control approach.
Register here to learn more—it’s free!
See the full sessions list for the Fall Virtual Conference on EV Engineering here.
Broadcast live October 18 – 21, 2021, the conference content will span the EV engineering supply chain and ecosystem including motor and power electronics design and manufacturing, cell development, battery systems, testing, powertrains, thermal management, circuit protection, wire and cable, EMI/EMC and more.

Masterflux releases new battery thermal management system
Michigan compressor supplier Masterflux has released the Masterflux eBTMS, a Battery Thermal Management System platform for EV applications.
Masterflux’s parent company Tecumseh makes reciprocating compressors that are powered by AC and used in stationary applications. Masterflux compressors are hermetically sealed, variable-speed rotary compressors powered by DC and designed for mobile applications.
The Masterflux eBTMS is offered in three capacity ranges, which cover most EVs, from small 3-wheel passenger vehicles to long-haul trucks and mass-transit buses. Air-cooled and liquid-cooled configurations with up to 350 W of cooling capacity are available for small vehicle applications, and a liquid-cooled configuration with up to 7 kW of cooling capacity supports larger vehicles.
Masterflux General Manager Robert Terry said, “Direct DC compressors eliminate the need to convert DC power to the AC power that is required to operate traditional compressors. This reduces the complexity of the power electronics, improves the coefficient of performance, and reduces size and weight when compared to using traditional inverter/compressor technology.”
