Re: Prius gen 2 A/C control

Read through the link I posted, it has a lot of application notes in it.

Oh it’s total overkill for an 1800w A/C compressor, but I already have it so I may as well use it. I don’t recall if logic signals are enough to drive it, I just remember being able to probe the various pins on the connector ...

Re: Prius gen 2 A/C control

I already have these parts here though, and I enjoy the challenge of putting it all together. The controller will likely be a small cost to me, vs buying a complete VFD off the shelf.

Re: Prius gen 2 A/C control

I don’t have it in front of me, but if memory serves it’s the Mitsu PM300CJA060. Looks like the attached pic. I found a PDF from Mitsu outlining their IPM line, and while this one isn’t specifically called out if you go by the part numbers it should be a 600v/300A unit.

Re: Prius gen 2 A/C control

Sensors shouldn’t be a problem, as long as I can start and stop the compressor on command it’s going to work. Originally I wanted speed control as well, but I don’t think I need that feature anyway. Removing heat from those tanks means the system will likely be running at full capacity for at least ...

Re: Prius gen 2 A/C control

No need for a complete power stage, if I’m going to go that route I have an IPM from a Civic hybrid that I can use, I’d just need a 3-phase controller for it.

Re: Prius gen 2 A/C control

I am not sure how your idea might work, but i am actively working on making my Prius compressor working in my Pug.

Thank you for the videos, at least I know I can run the compressor from MG1 or 2 inverter if I can’t get the A/C one to work.

My understanding is that I would need a working vehicle ...

Prius gen 2 A/C control

Good day all,

Looking for information on the gen 2 Prius AC inverter, I understand most here are probably only concerned about traction motors but I’d like to build a thermal storage system which incorporates the gen 2 hardware so I’m probing for information.

Thanks!

Nick
