I’m confused, the electric car was driving great until I updated the foc firmware, blew my second inverter, first one I thought I had reversed the power connection but after spending three days attempting to get the new inverter and dual motor board to drive I ended with a blown inverter again...

Re: Blown Gen Three inverter. Dual motor.

I have one spare inverter and I don’t want to blow it, I also have a V1c block iv with the wemos d1 mini connectors. Same thing with it but it blew the boost converter igbts instead of the inverter board

Blown Gen Three inverter. Dual motor.

This is the second inverter that has been blown. So question would be what was I doing wrong? Since my last video of driving the electric Mazda rx8 I updated the foc firmware for the original V1C single motor board with upgraded 3.3 volt power supply, the car was driving good. I spent hours on the f...

Re: Electric Mazda RX-8 using 2015 toyota Avalon hybrid inveter

Another test of the dual control board, setting up to charger my Mazdas battery’s in the next month. Hopefully this test is useful. After this I found the limit of the offset and ran out of power from my tester, going to use two 12 volt battery’s once I get back home, should be close to the opperati...

Re: Prius Gen 3 Inverter Logic Board Support Thread

Question involving power distribution in the gen three inverter.
Could I use this as my main power input, only because the power is directly connected to the igbt instead of going though the capacitor bus bar
