Problem
Conventional 3‑phase electric motors and generators often struggle to meet the combined demands of high power density, low torque ripple, and fault tolerance required by modern electric vehicles, aircraft, and industrial equipment. This limits system efficiency, increases weight, and forces designers to add redundant hardware to achieve required reliability.
Solution
Optiphase offers a 5‑phase electric propulsion and power generation platform that delivers power densities above 8 kW/kg while maintaining near‑zero torque ripple. Its Adaptiv™ control technology detects and compensates for phase failures, preserving 100 % torque and power without the need for redundant components. The integrated motor‑gearbox units, such as the DG200 EV drive, provide compact, high‑output solutions (268 hp in a 10.2″ × 14.5″ package) for OEMs across automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. By combining higher efficiency, lighter weight, and built‑in fault tolerance, Optiphase enables more reliable and cost‑effective electric power systems.
Target Audience
Primary customers are OEMs and system integrators developing electric vehicles, eVTOL and aerospace propulsion, and high‑performance industrial pump or drive systems that require compact, high‑density, and fault‑tolerant electric power solutions.
Features
- 5‑phase architecture delivering power densities >8 kW/kg and peak efficiencies above conventional 3‑phase designs
- Adaptiv™ fault‑tolerant control that maintains full torque and power output despite phase failures
- Near‑zero torque ripple (<0 %) reducing EMI, harmonics, and lifecycle wear
- Integrated motor‑gearbox units (e.g., DG200) offering 268 hp, 1,456 ft‑lb torque in a compact 10.2″ × 14.5″, 101 lb package
- Scalable speed range from 1 k to >100 k RPM and power output from a few kW up to >1 MW
- 47 % smaller DC link capacitor requirement due to reduced torque ripple
