Cascadia Motion (Rinehart Motion)
Product Summary
The PM100DX is an AC Traction Controller designed for on- and off-road Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric (HEV) applications. The Traction drive is fabricated using a patented high heat flux thermal design approach that dramatically reduces the size and weight of the finished drive, and improves its life in the automotive environment. With extensive experience in automotive and military vehicle traction and power electronics applications, RMS has achieved a major breakthrough in integrating Traction Control into a vehicle.
