American-Made 400 Hz Motor Drive
Power aviation equipment with Invention House’s American-made 400 Hz motor drive.
Ruggedized 400 Hz Motor Drives for the Aviation Industry
Powering the onboard electric motors and systems of planes, helicopters, and other military aircraft requires a powerful and compact variable frequency motor drive. A drive is needed that supports the necessary horsepower, inputs, and outputs while meeting extreme environments. Heavy drives also impact the operating ability of aviation equipment. Invention House understands the importance of lightweight power systems and offers ruggedized 400 Hz motor drives that work over a wide range of voltages, frequencies, and temperatures. Our team has been using leading in-house design and production processes to provide American-made motor controls that offer the following advantages:
Customization
Many large motor drive companies face significant production standards that limit their ability to meet the specific needs of their clients. Invention House is proud to be a small, independent motor drive manufacturer capable of customizing our products to satisfy particular requirements. We work hard to develop motor drives that suit any application.
Lightweight
Equipment weight is a critical factor in the aviation industry. Heavy items or those that take up too much space create operational issues that impact an aircraft’s efficiency. Invention House’s 400 Hz motor drive is designed to be lightweight and combines multiple processes, enabling aerospace and defense companies to maximize space.
