Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch is set to join forces with leading maritime energy storage system (ESS) manufacturer Corvus Energy to continue the development of its smart Battery Short-Circuit Limiter (BSCL) protection device for large-scale battery solutions and advanced DC power distribution. Under the three-year memorandum of understanding (MoU), Corvus Energy becomes the preferred…
The Switch solid-rotor technology extends the speed capabilities of standard induction electric motors, filling the existing gap for applications running below multi-megawatt powers. Typically, standard 2-pole induction motors reach speeds of 3,000–3,600 rpm and with a variable frequency drive (VFD), can reach speeds up to 4,500 rpm. In high-speed applications, a high-speed gearbox together with…
If you want a simplified drive system with better efficiency, higher speeds, higher powers and safety, our solid rotor machines are the answer.
Celebrating 15 years of permanent performance, we’ve gathered 15 milestones in our first 15 years.
The Switch was established in 2006. So, this year, we’re celebrating 15 years of permanent performance with our customers, suppliers and other partners.

We have delivered thousands of high-speed motors in serial production to several world leaders for their specialized turbo pump and compressors applications. Now, the same technology is introducing motors paired with drives, offering unrivaled cost and size advantages in powers of 100 to 630 kW and speeds of 6,000 to 20,000 rpm.
As we pause to spend time with our friends and family during the holidays, I wish you many warm regards. And I hope you, too, have a chance to recharge your batteries for an electrifying new year and exciting decade ahead!
