Default Is There cheap BLDC Controler?

Is There cheap BLDC Controler?

Hi I try to use remy motor It's amazing one...

Motor is just 5000$ but power is 200hp and maximum 450 hp...

Wow... It's amazing but problem is controller..

VAXO recommend me reinhart controller It's too expensive about 10000$

and below motor's power (motor is 600amp and 700vdc max but controller is just 350amp peak..)

Can you recommend me better one or cheapper one?

I know It's not that expensive price but... I try to find optimized one...

And what is used at F-150 truck??

Thank you..

the money is in the Peak Voltage Rating and Power Stage.700 VDC is normal to keep the current below 330 AMP.
you looking at 335.6 KW @ 400HP
245KW @700 Volts 350 amps
so you need to define you parameters.

Good luck. But the nice thing is with electronics the price will come down!

There just isn't a lot automotive capable BLDC and AC out there, right now DC reigns supreme for the HP&TQ/$ ratio...maybe one day BLDC will be cheap enough...

yes, it was the prototype I built my Controller from, with some added info from the Allison EP50.
then I added the 56F803 as the core of the controller using their Application note.
AS I SAID if you can find surplus one.
