Compiling Information For Wiki - Please Contribute
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2021 2:00 pm
I'm hoping to expand some information on OEM parts for the wiki, to answer some of my questions and questions I know others have. This would expand on my table in the Tesla section, found here: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Tesla
The goal is to make it easier for new people to understand what we are talking about when we say Prius Gen2, or Leaf Gen 1, or Tesla Charger Gen 2, etc, as well as help people plan their builds by understanding what power level different components can handle.
Yes, I understand lots of this could be figured out from Googling, but I'm hoping we can compile some information here to help people out.
Here's what I would like to include:
- Drive unit/inverter/charger generational definitions. i.e. what model years used a Prius Gen3 inverter.
- Motor/inverter/drive unit voltage and amperage limits; including OEM use, OpenInverter use, and component limits
Here's an example
Tesla Large Drive Unit (LDU)
- includes motor, inverter, gear box
- rear motor in all RWD Model S and X 2012-2017
- Sport version was rear motor in all P variant Model S + X 2012-2017
- OEM Max DC voltage: 400V
- OpenInverter tested Max DC voltage: 410V?
- rated inverter component DC voltage: 600v?
- OEM Max amperage: believed to be 800-1200amps
- Open Inverter tested Max amperage: ? (Jon Volk, what are you running?)
Here's a template. Please provide what information you have, even if it isn't all of it! Anything is better than nothing.
