BRUSA is a joke if you ask me, for SURE they have the best components out there as far as quality and compactness (inverters are small), but the price....  $22,000 for a 100hp motor?! Come on, and $9000 for there 50kW inverter! How do they expect that to be feasible? If they are going to charge that much, then at least make some high powered units, something around 250Kw+.
Saminco, there inverter is not powerful enough. Aveox doesn't have anything. Semikron, nor Sevcon, I couldn't find any inverter at MS Kennedy, it think you were looking at an IGBT pack, the powre stage of an inverter.
AC Propulsion, I would love to use there system, $22,000 for motor/controller package, with built in 20kw battery charger, 220hp. They designed the power propulsion for the Tesla Roadster.
The best motors though, are made by UQM, they have a 125kw (167hp) motor system which weights 90lbs! $22,000 for motor/controller package. If i had the money, I would use it in my other EV project (light weight, high performance car) targeting 1000lbs curb weight, with at least 120hp, should get you from 0-60mph in < 4 secs, I'm aiming for 3 seconds. Won't be too hard with such a light weight. I'm also thinking of implementing a 10kw generator for long trips, with 200+mpg. |
I've been trying to make my own electric vehicle since 1994 when I started messing with brushless in R/C. I was too young back then and now people are too greedy and prices have gone through the roof. They don't have the automotive devision anymore. The Simovert is made in the Automation Devision, I might be wrong as they have a lot of devision and plants spread around the globe.
Brusa is a joke, but they have the product.
Try this:
http://www.isecorp.com/ise_products_.../inverters.php.
Saminco has made inverters for record speed runs. Aveox can make motors for good for 150Kw and controllers good for 800V and 200A
http://www.aveox.com/Products-Controllers.aspx. Semikron has the Semistack for Automotive use
http://www.semikron.com/internet/index.jsp?sekId=356. Sevcon has the espAC
http://www.sevcon.com/pages/espac.html, but it's only good for 80V, but you can contact them to see if they can make one for higher voltage. Curtis Model 1238, but same situation as Sevcon. Here is the info on M.S. Kennedy motor controller:

http://www.mskennedy.com/client_imag...les/4851re.pdf and
http://www.mskennedy.com/client_imag...les/4852rd.pdf. Kelly has brushless controllers too 120V 200A cont.
http://www.kellycontroller.com/. UQM was also an option, but their price is up there. Raser Technologies makes some good stuff too
http://www.rasertech.com/. There are many others in other countires and there's the system I'll be using for my super car which I can't give that info out
