The two companies announced a strategic partnership last year, and have now cemented the deal by branding The Switch permanent magnet generator (PMG), full-power converters (FPC) packages under the Yaskawa label.

The Switch PMGs cover all wind power applications from 1MW to 8MW and above, including direct-drive, medium-speed and high-speed PMGs.

“Both companies will gain a stronger competitive advantage” says Jussi Vanhanen, marketing director at The Switch.
