MCU-X
MCU-X Integrated SiC Inverter Platform
The market-leading 800V Silicon Carbide Inverter platform, directly integrated into your system
Electrification demands smarter, lighter, and more efficient systems. Across automotive, marine, aerospace, and defence sectors, optimal integration of components is key to unlocking better performance, extended range, and reduced system weight.
That’s why Motion Applied developed MCU-X, a platform based on our flagship MCU-600 inverter, designed for direct integration into drive units or vehicle bodies. Built on the same market-leading hardware and software foundation, and enhanced by world-class mechanical design expertise, MCU-X enables:
- Up to 50% reduction in inverter weight through structural integration
- Optimised packaging for installation in challenging or space-constrained environments
- Expanded functionality via integration of additional control circuitry
- Cooling system flexibility, with support for varied fluids and thermal management strategies
Whether on land, sea, or in the air, MCU-X doesn’t just support your powertrain - it becomes part of it.
