Guys, My hybrid project is progressing well, i have been testing with a Remy HVH250. The time has come for packaging and i cant make it all fit! I have been forced to design a custom motor that will fit in the space that i have. Please see the design below and feel free to comment. Thanks...

Only two current sensors are required i think. I will check though. I should be running in a month or so, i will let you know how i get on.

Ok, time for an update. We are very busy at the workshop getting the car ready for next season so inverter development a little difficult at the moment. I have made some good progress. I have produced a schematic for the power stage and mapped all the connectors so I'm ready to connect to the...

The Power stages are based around a hitachi MBB600TV6A. this device is capable of 600v ABSMAX 600A DC. The IGBT is controlled by opto isolated gate drivers that monitor for shoot through and desaturation of the device ACPL-34JT. The DC Link voltage is monitiored again optoisolated by a...

I have been working with the Lebowski controllers ICs for a little while and its time to start scaling up my project. The end goal is to develop a energy recovery system to sit alongside a race engine and supplement its power when required. The current motors are 2 Honda IMA sandwiched between...
