Abstract: A system comprises: one or more point-of-use controllers configured to: assert a command-on signal to load a first turn-on gate driver profile; control, based on the loaded first turn-on gate driver profile, a gate driver to begin a first phase of a turn-on operation; receive a first power switch signal based on one or more of a detected voltage or a detected current; perform a comparison of the received first power switch signal to a first turn-on threshold value; load a second gate turn-on driver profile when the comparison indicates the first power switch signal is greater than the first turn-on threshold value; and control, based on the loaded second turn-on gate driver profile, the gate driver to end the first phase of the turn-on operation and begin a second phase of the turn-on operation.

Abstract: A portable tool, such as a spreader tool, cutting tool or combination spreading/cutting tool is for mobile use. The tool has an electric motor, a rechargeable battery received on the tool, a mechanically or hydraulically driven, displaceable piston rod for performing spreading and/or cutting and/or lifting or pressing. An electronic control and regulation unit controls/regulates the electric motor, such as a brushless DC motor. The electronic control and regulation unit specifies a first operating mode in which the electric motor is operated at a first frequency, and a second operating mode in which the electric motor is operated at a second frequency. The operating mode is switchable by an operator of the tool using a manually operable switch between the first and the second operating modes. The rotational speed of a three-phase current electric motor is higher at the second frequency than at the first frequency.

Abstract: A power control unit for electric vehicle includes an inverter for controlling a voltage supplied to a vehicle driving motor from a high-voltage battery. A DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of the high-voltage battery to a voltage capable of charging a low-voltage battery serving as a power supply for an in-vehicle auxiliary machine. The power control unit has a circuit board including first electrical circuit elements that constitute the inverter or the DC/DC converter and second electrical circuit elements together with the first electrical circuit elements. The unit further comprises a heat sink for cooling the first electrical circuit elements, a water pump for circulating a refrigerant in a refrigerant passage of the heat sink, and a water pump control circuit for controlling the operation of the water pump.
