An internal combustion engine provides more than just traction power to the wheels, it also powers auxiliary loads such as compressors and pumps for brakes, suspension, heating and coolants. In battery or hybrid vehicles these auxiliaries need to powered independently. Applications including cabin cooling & heating, battery thermal management (fast charging and driving) and drive-train cooling require three-phase inverters typically rated from 2 kW to 10 kW. A single-phase inverter can also be used to provide an auxillary AC mains output to power various external devices.
