A friend Stephen ordered a kit (traded for some BMSs) and he designed some copper bus bars. I will post the files for anyone who wants to get their own fabbed up.
Hi power inverter for Nissan leaf motor. Dyno's 302.3hp p15

Nice looking bars.
Is the big black brick thingy on top a stock Leaf capacitor?

Hi Arlo,
I'm specifying a project at the moment and seriously considering using one of your inverters. I was wondering (and this might also be aimed at Lebowski), have you looked into supporting 3-phase battery charging? I've read a few articles discussing this. I believe this is what the Renault Zoe Chameleon charger is (someone please step in if I am incorrect in this assumption).
The most concise publication I've found is this one: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7353033, you can get a free copy of it here: https://www.researchgate.net/public..._Battery_Charger_for_Plugin_Electric_Vehicles
It appears that the number of additional components required to implement this is relatively minimal (isolation transformers and contactors being the more expensive parts).

Take a look at the Hübner inverter.

It supports charging.

Hoping for the best for your wife and whole family. I am late to the party but am wondering if this inverter setup is available to order? Or if there is something similar available commercially. Was considering saving up for the HSRmotors Tesla rear drive and 057 controller. But if 300hp is possible with the leaf motor (even as a burst mode / scramble) then that's enough for this project. Thank you.

Thanks.
Martin,
I have been offering kits.
I have to warn you I have 10 IGBTs on order and they are another 22 weeks away I even looked at getting 100 of them and its still a 24 week lead time.
Also I tell most to aim for less power if you are looking to string it out for the max at 300+ hp there is a good chance you will blow it up. There is a lot going on here and its a huge undertaking to get this all sorted out. But if you are inclined here is the link.

Thank you. I was hoping the 300hp would be available in a "burst mode" or scramble type of configuration. Aka like when drag racing. Thank you again for the reply.

Its a use at your own risk kit.
You might get 300Hp.
I got close to 400hp and forgot to turn the cooling fan on and blew up the last one with my thermal cut set not quite aggressive enough. I was able to do 300+ hp for a lot of 1/4 mile runs. But I also spent a LOT of time and money to get there. You can do the same at your own risk and cost if you like. I am always working to make the kits better and more robust.

Cool to see things moving on! But now you leave us curious with many questions... :wink:
A new CRX? Same mods as for the black one, with Leaf motor? Powerdesigns controller instead of Lebowski/Arlo? Even more oompf?
Looking forward to the answers!

Great work!
I might have missed it in the video but you speak of 100 to 130 kW continuous but I didn't hear about peak power? What is the estimate peak amps/power that it will be able to provide?
Keep it up, it's a very nice project to follow!

Ive heard this term before but dont know what it is, flux linkage ?
