Belt Alternator Starter for Start Stop Systems	26.10.2009
Belt Alternator Starter (BAS) Start-Stop system is designed to start the internal combustion engine and generate electric energy to charge batteries and supply electric consumers. The product completely replaces the conventional alternator and starter in the internal combustion engine. A special electronic unit defines the start – stop function and in this way enables to save fuel between the stopover of the vehicle and a new start of the engine to resume driving. In this way an up to 8% fuel saving is enabled, what substantially contributes also to the reduction of CO2. By an extra function of fast charging of an electric battery, it enables additional braking of a vehicle and transforming the kinetic energy into the electric energy, what helps to more economical fuel consumption. BAS Start-Stop system includes an electric alternator starter and an electronic unit Regulator-Inverter-Controller. The system's advantages: • Start of an internal-combustion engine • Electric energy generation • Fast battery charging with an additional braking of a vehicle • Long life • Reliable operation • Start – stop function Technical data: Constructions of individual BAS systems are adjusted to the technical requirements of individual installations and cover the range of starting torques up to 49Nm and the generator current range up to 150A at the standardized low voltages or higher voltages up to 400V.

Hybrid drive systems	18.06.2009
The future of the industries that produce drives based on the internal combustion engines is in solving challenges related to increasingly requirements for smaller energy consumption, reduced emissionons at the concurrent same and enhanced dynamic and safety characteristics of drives. The solutions are in the appropriate development of internal combustion engines and hybridization of drives, which bring: • smaller consumption of fuel • less emissions • improved dynamic characteristics of a drive • possibilities of emission-free operation in case of using only the electric drive • other advantages like the function start-stop, energy recuperation. Long years of experience in the automotive industry and production of starters, alternators, different types of electric-motor drives and electronics enable Iskra Avtoelektrika to develop components and drive systems of hybrid drives and to take part in development projects in the field of hybridization at the user's, where we operate as a development supplier. We offer our partners overall solutions from an idea, through development and production to the final product in compliance with the requirements of specific installation.

High-voltage electric drive systems for electric and hybrid vehicles Due to the increasing demand for electric motors of higher power and efficiencies at the concurrent reduction of costs, Iskra Avtoelektrika has developed high-voltage electric drive systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. The system includes an efficient combination of a synchronous electric motor with high-energy permanent magnets and high-voltage electronic controller. Electric motor with inserted high-energy permanent magnets is one of the electric machines with the highest specific power and torque compared to other kinds of brushless motors. Owing to the specific characteristics, this drive is especially appropriate for electric and hybrid vehicles that require high dynamics and a broad range of revolutions. Their low specific weight is a great advantage for use in the automotive industry and in other commercial vehicles.

High Voltage Controllers	24.03.2009
Iskra Avtoelektrika is already present in the field of development and production of controllers for drive systems and marine applications with nominal voltages from 24V to 80V. Due to the increasing interest in hybrid and electric drives of higher output powers, it decided to take part also in the field of a bit higher voltages. For the use in the automotive industry, it develops 300V high voltage controllers of 30kW nominal power, designed to drive mostly traction electronically commutated motors with permanent magnets. The controllers consist of micro-controller unit with CAN communication interface, galvanically separated drivers, power stages IGBT, capacitor module and liquid-cooled heat sink. High voltage controller controls the operation of an electric machine (motor – generator – booster) in its entire scope of operation. Together they ensure drive of a vehicle or a vessel, electric energy generation or help in acceleration or deceleration with energy recuperation.

Drive systems for the electric wheelchairs	04.10.2007
Iskra Avtoelektrika has developed a new drive system for electric wheelchairs, based on the technology of brushless motors and complex control electronics. Drive system can be used as an addition mounted to the classic wheelchairs with minimal reworking. The system enables reaching of speed within the span from 6km/ to 12km/h. The system includes two electronically commutated motors with associated controllers separated for the left and the right wheel and enables modular spreading also to the other types of small electric vehicles, such as small electric scooters that require only one driving motor and also vehicles with four-wheel drive. Control unit with a built-in joystick enables control of all units in the system. The units are interconnected with the CAN bus, whereas the communication is carried out by the CANopen protocol. Operation control, synchronization, error detection, programming, and defining of the system's configuration are performed through the CAN bus. The control unit periodically sends to all controllers the required speed and rotation direction of the driving motor in the real time with the pre-set parameters. The parameters can be changed with reference to the needs and wishes of the driver. In the end, the required speed and rotation direction of driving motors depends only on the movement of the control lever set on the control unit. The system also enables control of electromagnetic brakes, if these are an integral part of driving motors, and can, at the same time, control two DC motors that, for example, change the inclination of the seat and the back of a wheelchair. The system also controls the batteries charge and gives other information about operation or errors. Attached file: Drive systems for the electric wheelchairs Twin_motor_drive_systems.pdf
