Outdoor areas such as terraces, garden furniture or entrance steps can be cleaned excellently with a battery-powered high-pressure cleaner. No electric cable anymore, just a water hose, and that's it. The cleaner is lightweight and practically equipped, e.g., with a rotor nozzle. Its powerful spot jet achieves a high area performance, with which stubborn traces of moss or weather marks can be removed.

A decisive feature is the induction motor, which works particularly quietly without a gearbox. It is interesting to know that the first induction motor was independently invented in 1888 by Galileo Ferrari and Nikola Tesla. After a longer-lasting legal dispute, the patent rights went to the company Westinghouse Electric, to which Tesla had sold his patent before.

The rotating magnetic field that drives an induction motor is nowadays created by a MOSFET inverter. The DI080N06PQ by Diotec Semiconductor is an 80 A/60 V N-channel MOSFET powering such a high-pressure cleaner. Its slim PowerQFN5x6 package allows the driver stage to have the lowest space requirement. The very low on-state resistance of typically 2.4 mOhm helps to save battery power and prolong the operating time of the cleaner.
