Features

Products

In IDM, we design our alternators and power electronics to easily integrate with your engine. Upon request, we select the engine ourselves, providing a full system.

Some features of the IDM products include:

  • AC/DC converters – Power Supply Units and Battery Chargers
  • DC/DC converters
  • DC/AC inverters for motor control and electronic engine starting
  • Bidirectional architecture
  • Configurable through the required communication protocol (custom, CANopen, J1939, RS-485, RS-282)
  • Designed to achieve strictest performance and EMC standards
  • Parallelable
  • Telemetry: data such as current, voltage and temperature can be recorded, exported, or accessed live.

Power electronics

Power converters designed with our alternators to qualify for extreme temperatures (i.e. −40 °C to +70 °C), shock, vibrations and humidity.

Alternators

In IDM we were among the first companies to develop outrunner Permanent Magnet Alternators. For the last 25 years, we have innovated our material selection, production and testing processes to become the preferred supplier for development and production both for small volumes and at scale of compact alternators, mounted, where possible, directly to the engine's crankshaft.
