We Design. We Build. We Deliver.
Published technical analysis, design guides, and product launches to assist OEM design engineers, purchasing managers, and system integrators with critical component specification.
High-voltage battery circuits in hybrid and electric vehicle architectures contain substantial downstream capacitance in motor inverters. Learn how to size precharge resistors and specify auxiliary high-voltage DC contactors to prevent contact welding and destructive inrush current spikes.
Engineered specifically for next-generation battery energy storage systems (BESS) and commercial EV charging stations. The AREVH50 platform provides robust DC arc-extinction capability inside a compact, gas-filled hermetic chamber rated up to 1,500 VDC.
Precision temperature management requires high-frequency switching without electrical noise or mechanical wear. Discover how Altran's ASR-SK series zero-cross solid state relays deliver continuous duty cycle performance across plastic injection moulding and semiconductor manufacturing lines.
Commercial refrigeration systems and food-service cooking machinery demand reliable heating and compressor control. Learn how zero-voltage turn-on SSR technology reduces electrical transients, extends component lifespan, and complies with food machinery safety standards.
Choosing between polar and non-polar contactors depends heavily on whether your circuit experiences bi-directional current flow during battery charging or regenerative braking. This guide reviews magnetic blowout orientation, contact erosion mechanisms, and system safety precautions.
High-voltage contactor coils demand strong pick-in energy to close heavy contacts, followed by much lower holding power. Explore how integrated pulse-width modulation (PWM) economizers lower continuous energy draw and coil operating temperatures by up to 80%.
Detailed examination of the AREVS150 platform designed for 200A continuous current at 1000 VDC. Highlights epoxy sealing, low contact resistance, mounting flexibilities, and UL qualification for stationary storage and heavy e-mobility applications.
An introduction to explosion-proof motor design for Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 environments. Reviews flame-path enclosure requirements, surface temperature limitations, and key considerations when specifying blower assemblies for volatile gas or dust atmospheres.
Ultra-fast EV charger cabinets demand combined high-voltage DC load isolation and severe common-mode/differential-mode EMI filtering. Learn how pairing Altran DC contactors and multi-stage line filters helps OEM platforms pass CISPR 11 / FCC Part 15 EMC testing on schedule.
Altran Magnetics components are built, inspected, and verified against international safety and electromagnetic standards at our headquarters in Sterling, Illinois. We assist overseas procurement teams by supplying complete qualification packages prior to production releases.
Connect directly with Altran Magnetics application engineers to discuss coil parameters, filter attenuation curves, sample testing, or custom part numbers for your next global OEM production run.
