Re: Prius Gen2 adapter board development thread

Can you try on the other inverter? Is you 12V supply stable? Shutdowns are triggered by the Prius driver, not the control board. So the driver is unhappy about something. As in switch to MG1?, 12V is supplied by a bench supply with a server battery in the loop to suck up some of the hungrier compon...

Re: Prius Gen2 adapter board development thread

My over current issue is evading me, So I started off with some old lead acids at around 96V just to see if I could get the motor spinning, went through all of the steps in the FOC video, had it spinning but found I had to have the amp/throttle percentage down very low or id trip to OC, even in manu...

Re: 330e Hybrid Swap

Yeah we're using HTG....unfortunately(Its a nightmare and has just died to top it off), there's a few issues to overcome with running it as a hybrid such as the separating clutch not being controlled by the HTG, I'm hoping that is controlled by what would be the TCC solenoid though, Will need to run...

Re: 330e Hybrid Swap

Is anyone willing to share a bit of knowledge about what would need to be found out about this motor to find a suitable inverter? Cascadia have come back to me with a list of Is the motor SPM or IPM? Looks like its IPM from what I can Gather? How many pole pairs? Out of my depth Rotor has 2 Rows of ...

Re: 330e Hybrid Swap

Unfortunately I don't think it is a Remy unit, If you'd like some more photos let me know, Would I be way off in assuming 8 Pole pairs and IPM? The actual ins and outs of motor specifics are very new to me.

Re: 330e Hybrid Swap

Sorry I didn't make that very clear, Not looking to run too much of the OEM electronics, battery pack will be broken down into its 5 individual modules and probably managed with an orion bms and valeo charger, TCU is an aftermarket controller, still up in the air on which inverter to use(We don't ha...
