PPM Power will be presenting its new cutting-edge switch technologies at Cenex-Low Carbon Vehicle (LCV), an industry event that will take place in September at UTAC Millbrook. The show attracts engineers, industry professionals and technical directors alike, to explore the latest advancements in sustainable propulsion, vehicle design and electric vehicle systems. This year’s event promises to be even more significant; attracting thousands of professionals eager to learn and network. Low carbon vehicle engineers will be able to access and easily implement new switch technologies presented at the show by PPM Power.
With products for hyper cars to commercial vehicles through to aviation, PPM Power’s stand (#C3-419) will display cutting-edge solutions that help users achieve their project performance and cost targets; through optimization, customization and availability.
Featured will be PPM’s ‘Roadstar’ Test Kit for rapid and high performance prototype evaluation of inverters, incorporating state-of-the-art SiC MOSFET technology integrated with highly optimized DC link capacitors. The kit, an example of a recent solution developed by PPM, was designed to enable engineers to exploit the latest SiC technology without causing delays or budget increases. It was rapidly designed using best-in-class DC link capacitors, SiC power modules and engineered cold plates, and was developed to function straight away and exactly as required.

With electrical infrastructure becoming ever more important, PPM Power will also be featuring new switch technology in the form of Schaltbau contactors. These solid-state contactors offer ultra-fast reaction times when limiting fault currents, thereby providing DC and AC fault protection. The speed of response reduces the magnitude of fault current, making down-stream design easier. The devices are also capable of switching, under load, millions of times and offer long lifetimes.
“We are excited to be a part of LCV 2023; an event that embodies the electrification of transport and the pursuit of net-zero emissions. At PPM Power, we are committed to accelerating time to market for low carbon vehicles by offering fast, precise and efficient solutions,” said Phil Surman, Director of Sales at PPM Power.
LCV will serve as a platform for industry professionals to engage with PPM on stand C3-419 and discuss the myriad of component options and solutions available from the company.
