AC propulsion

AC propulsion refers to using alternating current (AC) electricity to power electric motors, which then drive vehicles like electric cars. In this system, an inverter converts the vehicle’s battery DC power into AC, which energizes the motor. The AC motor adjusts its speed and torque based on the frequency and voltage of the current, allowing precise control of the vehicle’s movement. This setup offers benefits like higher efficiency, better performance, and the ability to regenerate energy during braking (recuperation). Overall, AC propulsion provides a reliable and flexible way to power modern electric vehicles efficiently.
