Elettronica Santerno SpA designs and markets inverters (for the production of electricity from renewable sources), drives and soft starters for industrial and hybrid applications.
Since 2006 it has been part of the Carraro Group, a multinational specialised in power transmission systems, with production premises and engineering centres in more than 16 countries worldwide.
Fields of specialisation are:
- Drives for industrial applications such as inverters for water pumping and treatment, conditioning systems, regenerative overhead cranes and high power conveyor belts
- Photovoltaic inverters
- Inverters for wind generators
- Hybrid systems of electric traction

Starting from 1st January 2015, the sensorless VTC (Vector Torque Control) has been fully redesigned.
The new VTC control stems directly from the FOC control already implemented on the Penta drives. However, the new VTC control uses a speed evaluation algorithm allowing getting rid of the encoder. The main features of the new control are the increase of the torque that can be generated at low rpm (up to 150% of the rated torque) and the increase of defluxing performance (operation above nominal speed).
