ROHM Semiconductor launches brushless DC motors

BENGALURU, SEPT 22:

  

ROHM Semiconductor, the Indian arm of Japan-based ROHM Group, has launched its BLDC (brushless DC) motors.

These are ‘Made in India’ and the company executives said that it will halve the power consumption of home appliances and industrial equipment.

These solutions, compared with the less expensive AC induction motor, are easy to control and around 50 per cent more efficient, thereby reducing power consumption, said ROHM Semiconductor India Managing Director Daisuke Nakamura.

The solutions are designed with features to reduce the design time and hence enable a faster time to market. These drivers along with the easily customizable reference designs will propel local design, which is the key to manufacturing locally.

In 2015, India had manufactured around 40 million ceiling fans, with around 10 per cent growth, according to industry watchers.

“If every single ceiling fan manufactured from here on is made into an energy-efficient BLDC ceiling fan, rough calculation indicates that, by 2025, the country can reduce peak-power capacity addition by around 10 GW, which is equivalent to saving around 5 midsized power plants,” said Nakamura
