Servosila R&D team has recently been involved in a series of projects related to starter-generators of internal combustion engines (ICE). A brushless electric motor (PMSM) attached to an ICE serves as both a starter and a generator, while a single Servosila SC-series inverter performs the two-way AC-DC conversion function. Just like in a hybrid car!

As a result of the projects, the stock firmware of the Servosila servo drives has been dramatically improved, when it comes to stabilization of the output voltage in the generator mode (AC-to-DC conversion).

The good news is that the improvements are now available to all users of the SC-series servo drives.
