  • why not a bldc or a brush motor, more power to weight and they are quieter

  • @fairyheli2 Because bldc or brushed motors have permanent magnets that under heavy acceleration (high current) the opposite magnetic field will de-magnetize the permanent magnets little by little lowering their efficiency in steps until the motors will have to be replaced. The AC Induction motor is very resilient and it will last very long time and also survive high current peaks without problems.

  • @TrajkovskiNet is this a high frequency inverter drive?

  • @fairyheli2 We have tested high frequency inverter drives and found that MOSFET losses due to high frequency are greater than the vibration losses of the AC induction motor, so we developed a low frequency inverter driver which is more efficient but requires high quality motor bearings because of increased vibrations.

  • What kind of range can you do with the 12Ah's ?

    I have an electric scooter myself, although it is a factory model :)

    It has 38Ah, a 2kw motor, and I can do about 30-40 kms on that - weighs a lot though - 138 kg in total

    /K

  • @klas2k - With 12Ah Lead-Acids now we have only 10-15km range.

  • @TrajkovskiNet what frequencies does this use typically? I want to build an induction motor propulsion unit for a bicycle, and maybe a go kart as well. I am quite new to electronics and electric vehicles

  • lol reverse

  • Johny pa barajte kupci online naprajte website neka vi narachuvaat, ke im pravite po narachka i prajte biznis.Isto angliski malce poveke vezbajte-izgovor(dobro e za biznis da fatite malce americhki akcent)
