iE Convert

The iE Convert helps you integrate any energy source and load in efficient AC and DC hybrid power systems on land and at sea. You can use it to charge and discharge batteries; to integrate fuel cells and PV panels; to drive propulsion, hotel loads, and deck equipment on ships; and much more. And you can parallel several iE Convert units to build compact multi-megawatt solutions.

Massive flexibility from three variants

You can use the bi-directional device as a converter, inverter, rectifier, or transformer, and you can cover any capacity requirement from 125 kVA to 6 MVA: Simply choose the iE Convert variant that offers the kVA rating you need and combine up to 8 units on the same controller.

High efficiency through high switching frequency

The iE Convert reduces the need for cooling and greatly increases the efficiency of your systems. Thanks to the silicon carbide (SiC) technology, the converter is far more efficient than comparable IGBT designs. It offers switching frequencies up to 100 kHz and provides output energy with very low harmonics and ripple – and very little electrical energy is lost as heat during conversion.

Complete module with galvanic separation

The iE Convert comes as a fully integrated, liquid-cooled module that includes the converter, a basic controller, and the necessary filters – plus built-in galvanic separation for fuel cell applications. Thanks to the pure output energy, additional filters and condensers will rarely be needed.

Compact and lightweight

The iE Convert is significantly smaller than comparable IGBT designs. In fact, you can reduce installation space by up to 60% and weight by 4 to 5 times – great news when you work with crowded engine rooms, mobile power applications, or tight BESS designs.

Groundbreaking technology built in Europe

Our iE Convert range was developed in close partnership with AVL, a world-leading mobility technology company, and Wolfspeed, a market leader in the worldwide adoption of silicon carbide technologies.
