LEM has introduced a current transducer series, ideal for retrofitting trackside applications or for reducing the cost of new installations. Due to its robust design and standardized 4-20 mA out, it can also be used in automation or the control of PV-plants. The transducer’s primary circuit, in combination with two ASiCs to detect the magnetic field, enables precise current measurement.

According to current estimates by the German industry association ZVEI, growth in the market for power semiconductors will triple by 2030 and thus develop six times as fast as the overall semiconductor market. With a 30 % share of the market for power semiconductors, Europe is currently the world market leader - this position must be strengthened and expanded.

There’s a lot riding on finding ways to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, not least in the electric vehicles industry where range anxiety continues to be one of the biggest barriers to widespread adoption.

We’re now well into Q4. As we approach 2022, here’s an overview of how the electric vehicle industry is getting on after what has been and continues to be a turbulent time for the worldwide automotive sector in general.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) announced that renowned British performance brand Lotus Cars is planning to incorporate ADI’s wireless battery management system (wBMS) in its next-generation electric vehicle (EV) architecture. ADI’s wBMS was selected for its increased design flexibility, battery repairability and lighter weight.

Power Integrations, a specialist in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, announced the InnoSwitch 3-PD family of ICs, the industry's most highly integrated solution for USB Type-C, USB Power Delivery (PD), and USB Programmable Power Supply (PPS) adapters.

PCIM Asia 2021 took place this year in Shenzhen for the first time, with a strong three days combining two decades of experience in power electronics and welcoming leading brands within the industry. PCIM Asia saw 102 exhibitors and 11,314 visits, showcasing the latest technologies in power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management.

New superconducting magnet breaks magnetic field strength records, paving the way for practical, commercial, carbon-free power. This is the result of a research projekt led by the MIT and startup company Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS).
