MotorControlSystem

Safety, comfort, and ease of driving are three pillars of modern-day car owning experience. OEMs, tier-1s and aftermarket suppliers together strive to build automotive solutions around them. One of the components that has played a pivotal role in achieving safety, comfort and ease of driving is the motor control system. There are about 100-150 electric motors that drive various modules in an automobile. According to a report by straitsresearch, the automotive motor control market is going to be 58.84 million by 2030. PWM based motor control system market is reported to be the highest contributor to the market. This exponential growth in the automotive motor control system market has been possible due to consistent strides in technological innovations. And with innovation comes the challenges, especially in the automotive industry where change is the only constant. So, what are the challenges faced in the development of motor control system? Let’s try to figure it out in the blog...

If you are an automotive and more specifically electric vehicle enthusiast, you would understand how important electric motors are for the automotive industry. From a humble power window to a complicated electric vehicle drivetrain, it is the smart application of electric motors that has brough disruption. Electric motors have themselves evolved over the year. The first electric motor to be used in an automobile can be traced back to 1828 when Ányos Jedlik, a Hungarian drove a small model car with an electric motor. Subsequently, 2-phase, 3-phase, DC motors, AC induction motors were developed by the inventors. In the modern era of automotive advancements, car manufacturers have a choice of electric motors that they can deploy to suit their requirements. With the advancement in electric motor, the commutation of motor is now done electronically through motor control system . This provides better control over the motors, enhanced efficiency, and smoothness of operation. A Deep Dive...
