Hi everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed the gig, and as such there is even more to ponder.

Thanks again guys.
Stephen

Unkel,

I have PM'd you re Charger

Steve

Yes agreed.

a Super gig all round, and many thanks to the Tog Hackerspace guys.
Last, but not least, hope the Red Arrow is on it's way home with a brand new NCT. Keep away from the Champers until you are home.

Regards to everyone

Thanks Yaroslav. Yes Indeed, The enclosed encoder in the bearing would be best, and just feed the harness up to the circular connector, however I am reluctant to open rear of motor as it is a water cooled motor and don't want to upset any seals etc. I also would have to get exact matching size which...

Thanks Guys for the feedback, I really appreciate it. As the aforementioned motor is a bit under powered, I would definitely require some sort of encoder to gain the max torque etc. So I guess I should start experimenting, It must be really small as I only have about three or four cm to play with, b...

Hi There. I managed to acquire two 1PV5131-4WS52-ZW11 Siemen's Motors a few years ago and I tested them with Johanne's Openinverter and a Gen2 Prius inverter with total success. However I did not read the label correctly and mistook 'Encoder No' to mean the 'Encoder Number'. The 12 pin circular conn...

Hi Arber.

Do you still have these ? If so count me in.

Stephen

Keep going you two. Watching and learning.

Hi Ali
Best of luck with new purchase. Saw the pack advertised but nowhere near ready for it. Congrats on purchase and best of luck. Will be watching carefully.

Came across this a good few years ago now, found myself gathering, studying, tinkering with 'things' from scrappies, even know their names now and they certainly know me. Won't give up soccer, cycling and golf, but pretty much everything else has been put aside for this craziness. Hats off to you Jo...

I went to buy a motor from the UK to be delivered to Ireland. He couldn't tell me what taxes I was liable for.

And I am just an innocent purchaser. But if they don't know how can anyone else. ?

In truth nobody knows I fear.

Hi There just reading this now so apologies for delay. I would start again with first checking the Pin layout for 11, 13 17 on the main board are tied high. Don't forget they are not set as pin 1,2,3,4 etc, but rather 2,1,4,3 etc. See wiki. Set Inverter to default settings. When you have established...

Hi Jnsaff.

Can you PM me please re Contactors

Stephen

Sympathies Johannes.

I have knowledge of a very similar story.

The ironic thing here is that Paypal was taught up by no other than Mr Musk.!!!

Hi Johannes.
Great news on this matter and best of luck, I'm sure it will all go well, and let face it, you have the 'Teacher' look.

Stephen

I can highly recommend an app called ' Inssider ' which I have used in the course of my day job. It graphically shows wifi activity and all overlapping channels. etc.

Just my penny's worth.

Stephen

Great stuff Damien. I have to say when Johannes started this thread I was thrilled, only to discover that disclaimers started appearing around every corner. To me it took a bit of the fun out of it, particularly as I was only interested in the single phase charging. ( Three phase not an option for m...

Hi Fiachra.

Did you charge the test Prius battery pack via the Celeron way or another ? As you will have gathered I'm focused on battery charging at the mo.
Great work on the Audi.

Regards
Stephen

Looks like you will need two units per phase as they don't seem to be Half bridges. Six for a three phase power section.
If so, you could make a serious DC controller with them instead.

Regards
Stephen

Great stuff Johannes.
Serious news indeed. On my hit list within the next few weeks. I really hope this is the beginning of 'mass production of DIY conversions'

Regards
Stephen

Although not remotely ready, it's impossible not to go for this, I'll say 12 units but hoping to say 18 depending on my progress.

Stephen

Thought rewinding was dead. Last year I completed a rewind of a originally 7KW ACIM. Still in my shed untested but when I complete a power section for a Rev2 inverter I will use it and test accordingly. Wired in delta mode and using 8 x 27 metres of 0.91 gauge cable approx per phase. The process its...

Have to agree with Arber and Kevin here. I have experimented with lower voltage ACIM motors to the extent that I even rewound one to a far lower voltage than original. I might use it on a motorbike or similar but ultimately using a OEM piece of kit is the way forward from both a time perspective and...

Great Stuff Johannes.
Looking good. The board, not your head. !!

Regards and continued success.
Stephen

Stranger things have happened Kevin.
