QPT is the first company to work out and patent a set of innovations that enable high power, high voltage GaN transistors to be used in VFDs at their ultrafast frequencies and thus unlock their full potential to deliver power savings.
The key, patented innovations are called qDrive™, ZEST™, and qSense™ and they come together in our qGaN and qSensor modules. See QPT Patents. Two qGaN modules implement a half bridge that drives a single phase of a motor – three of these half bridges are used to drive a motor in a Y-configuration.
It is important to understand that these innovations come together to form a holistic, integrated approach that upgrades the VFD design to cope with having GaN transistors running at full throttle. Otherwise, it would be like bolting a jet engine onto a standard car!

CORE APPLICATION AREAS FOR OUR TECHNOLOGY
High power integrated motors
Not only does QPT technology cut the power requirements of electrical motors, it also solves a major industry problem of the size of VFD with a VFD design that is around 20 times smaller than today’s VFDs.
Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles or EV are an ideal market for our technology especially as it enables energy re-capture via regenerative breaking.
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC)
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), uses a huge number of electric motors that are being driven with sub-optimal efficiency.
Robotics, Servos, Welding & Industrial Automation
Productivity can be improved by using qModules to control servo motors because they settle faster so more moves per hour can be achieved.
