Testing modified 3 Phase motor Controller for EV

It's Finally ready to be tested, the modified 3 phase motor controller for my AC conversion.

The original controller had a 6 pack, 600 volt, 25 amp IGBT module, It's been replaced with 3, dual 600 volt 300 amp IGBT modules. It actually works quite well so far.

Warning: this video goes on for a while with me testing the motor starting and braking over and over. Don't watch the whole thing unless you like to see the same thing a bunch of times.

Why don't you use this in a gearless elevator?

@blackmesa25 Most of the parts that I use for my projects are from a place called CTR Surplus. Their website ctr-surplus(dot)com has links to their ebay stores. They only ship to the U.S. but aside from that they are good with just about anything electrical and electronic. All of my IGBTs, heatsinks, fans, busbars, pumps, and drives come from CTR. My big motors come from a place called HGR surplus, but they too only ship within the U.S.

I read your tech sheet: You would think a controller would be powered separately with its own battery. A schematic of the precharge circuit would help. Btw.. thanks for sharing your information.

Does having 3 dual 600v 300a IGBT's mean your max is 1200v 300a? I read your tech sheet.. 3.7 kW Allen Bradley 1333 - what is the max amp rating of this motor?
