Danfoss editron electric machines are based on synchronous reluctance assisted permanent magnet (SRPM) or permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) technology. They are liquid-cooled and designed to work in harsh operating environments typical in drivetrain applications. For instance, traction motor in heavy machinery or propulsion motor in marine applications. They can work both as a generator or as a motor.
Compared to conventional technologies, like induction machines (IM) the electric SRPM and PMSM motors offer smaller dimensions, lighter weight and higher efficiency.
