ISSOID’s SiC Inverter Control Module Empowers Hydro Leduc’s Highly Efficient & Modular ePTO Solution

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium & Azerailles, France - 07 October 2024 – CISSOID, a leading supplier of Silicon Carbide (SiC) Intelligent Power Modules, is proud to announce that its SiC Inverter Control Module (ICM) has been adopted by Hydro Leduc, a renowned manufacturer of hydraulic components, for its new highly efficient and modular Electric Power Take-Off (ePTO). This new ePTO solution supports the electrification of trucks and other off-road vehicles. CISSOID’s ICM not only powers and controls Hydro Leduc’s compact and efficient inverter but also contributed to greatly accelerate its development cycle.

Hydro Leduc’s new ePTO solution offers an optimized hydraulic supply to high power tools in e-trucks and other off-road vehicles that remain driven by hydraulic actuators. Hydro Leduc’s new ePTO represents a significant advancement in electric and hydraulic transmissions with their ME230, a 76 kW brushless electric motor designed to be paired with an inverter for applications up to 650Vdc.

This motor, compatible with DIN ISO14 standards and equipped with an efficient cooling system, forms a complete solution with the new series of fixed displacement spherical piston pumps: the XRe, available in 41 or 63 cm³ displacements.

Specially adapted for E-PTO mounting, the XRe series is quiet and offers remarkable efficiency, reduced pulsations due to its 9-piston design, and high speed in self-priming mode. Together, the ME230 and XRe provide high-performance and efficient electro-hydraulic solutions for a variety of applications.

CISSOID’s ICM optimally integrates a 3-Phase 1200V/340A-550A SiC Power Module, enabling efficient power conversion, a gate driver board designed for safe driving of the fast-switching SiC transistors, and a control board embedding a powerful real-time microprocessor. This hardware platform has been delivered together with the OLEA^® APP INVERTER software optimized for the efficient and safe control of electric motors.

Olivier Savinois, Managing Director at EL MOTION (the sister company of Hydro Leduc, specialized in the design and manufacturing of electrical components and motors), said “We have been very pleased to work with CISSOID on the development of our new ePTO inverter. Not only did their SiC Inverter Control Module completely match our needs, we also enjoyed outstanding support from their team. Especially due to the on-site calibration of our inverter and motor, during the design and validation phases. CISSOID’s modular inverter platform  ties perfectly with our scalable ePTO solution.”

Emmanuel Poli, VP Sales at CISSOID, said: "It was really exciting to work with the Hydro Leduc team, who rapidly understood how powerful it would be to leverage our ICM to accelerate the design of their inverter. We were impressed by the speed and agility of Hydro Leduc’s engineers in integrating our hardware and software solution into their motor drive."
