- Theta Power Systems International and ON Semiconductor will address the causes behind motors consuming approximately 45 per cent of the world’s electricity
- Government regulations worldwide are driving a reduction in electric motor power consumption by increasing efficiency requirements in HVAC, appliances and pool pumps
ON Semiconductor has established a collaboration with Theta Power Systems International to enable customers to capitalise on industry-leading motor control techniques along with high performance semiconductor solutions targeting applications migrating to brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Theta Power Systems International and ON Semiconductor will address the causes behind motors consuming approximately 45 per cent of the world’s electricity, by providing hardware and software solutions that migrate traditional single phase ON/OFF motors to variable speed three-phase BLDC electronically commutated motors.
Raimundo Rengel, Jr, chief technology officer at Theta Power Systems International said, “I’m excited to be directly connected to a semiconductor company where our collaborations will yield reliable, optimized solutions for specific applications.”
Near-turnkey experience
Government regulations worldwide are driving a reduction in electric motor power consumption by increasing efficiency requirements in HVAC, appliances and pool pumps. Driving the shift from using traditional AC motors to variable speed BLDC motors is practically mandatory to meet the new regulatory standards. By utilising state-of-the-art electronics and control methods, ON Semiconductor and Theta Power Systems International will deliver customers a near-turnkey experience that will accelerate their move to 3-phase BLDC technology.
Ryan Cameron, vice president and general manager of the Industrial and Offline Power Division at ON Semiconductor said, “We look closely at the total cost of ownership when engaging markets, applications and customers. Maximum energy efficiency is at the forefront of what we are trying to deliver through collaborations with companies such as Theta Power. By utilising the scale of ON Semiconductor, this collaboration will enable us to reach a broad market base where customers can shorten time to market, reduce engineering costs and move to new technology spaces with little effort.”
