AC-Link technology

VIDAR’s patented AC-Link technology replaces conventional AC-to-DC-to-AC VFD technology with a streamlined AC-to-AC approach. By removing the DC stage, bulky capacitors are eliminated, shrinking the VFD by 60%, enabling the motor and VFD to be combined into a single, compact solution.

Compact and integrated

By removing the need for the DC stage, VIDAR shrinks the size of the power converter by 60% compared to comparable VFDs.

Ultra-low harmonics

VIDAR’s design minimizes harmonic distortion, maintaining power quality in compliance with IEEE-519 standards.

Increased reliability

The elimination of electrolytic capacitors removes a major failure point, resulting in a more durable and long-lasting system.

Seamless integration

With its compact design, VIDAR eliminates long cable runs between the VFD and motor, resulting in longer motor insulation life.

Synchronous Reluctance Magnet-Assisted Motor

VIDAR is purpose-built for industrial facilities. It uses a high-efficiency Synchronous Reluctance Magnet-Assisted motor designed using IEEE-841 specifications, meets CSA Class 1 Division 2 for hazardous areas and meets IEEE-519 power quality standards for dependable performance even in the toughest environments.

Synchronous Reluctance Magnet-Assisted (SRMA) design

The VIDAR motor combines reluctance torque with permanent magnet assistance, eliminating rotor-induced currents for higher efficiency and power density.

Lower operating temperature and higher efficiency

Operating 10-25% cooler than induction motors, VIDAR reduces energy losses, extends component lifespan, and enhances reliability.

Optimized torque and performance

Its advanced magnetic design delivers superior efficiency, higher torque, and a better power factor, reducing energy consumption in industrial applications.
