Power electronics

Inverters, converters and chargers repaired at component level, down to the die where the failure actually is.

When to have it looked at

  • The car will not charge, or charges only on one type of charger.
  • Loss of 12 V while driving, or a battery that goes flat overnight.
  • A drive fault that appeared at the same moment as a motor fault.

Why it fails

Power electronics fail from heat and from what the motor sends back into them. A destroyed inverter is very often the second failure, not the first — the drive unit went, and the inverter followed. Replacing the electronics without finding what killed them is how the same repair happens twice.

How we work

  1. We record the condition in writing before anything is opened, and you get a copy.
  2. The unit is stripped and inspected. It is the only way to know the real state of it.
  3. Everything that matters is measured, not estimated.
  4. You get a written quote before any repair starts. Nothing proceeds without your agreement.
  5. We replace what has actually failed and what will fail next, not the whole assembly.
  6. It is tested under load and returned to you with the findings written up.

What decides the price

What moves the price is the platform, what we find once it is open — which nobody can know beforehand — and whether the original parts can be reused. That is why the quote comes after the inspection and not before it.

Turnaround, warranty and whether a teardown is chargeable are set by this workshop. Ask us before you commit.
