    This is a used UQM AC electric motor, complete with inverter and single speed e-gear drive I started an ev conversion project, but don't have the time & money to complete it so I'm (reluctantly) selling these components. The UQM-PP135 is capable of 180 HP. It uses 320-400 volt supply & revs to...

    Hello all! I’m desperately looking for a motor. Not picky, but looking for something around 40-50kw. Around 100V If you’ve got an inverter, controller, whatever, I’d be interested in that as well. Thanks!

    Dear community, I am researching on building an EV from scratch . I have a possibility to use an industrial Motor which has following specs: Voltage= 400V +-5% Power= 22KW Current=41 Amps My question is, isnt 400 V AC (565 DC from battery using rms formula) supply too much in a car? What...

    Hi folks, Just getting started with some EV basics to build a vehicle prototype. I have a curtis 1236 controller - which accepts battery DC voltage in the range of 24-36V. I am wondering if it can be used to drive off the shelf industrial ac motors like this one...

    Hey Everyone, I am working on a test vehicle for a startup company, and I would like to know of suppliers (other than Tesla) for 3-phase AC induction motors operating from 300+ Volt sources. Our development pack has a nominal voltage of ~350 V, but I have only been able to find motors and...

    I have recently been in contact with a gentleman that has bought a large quantity of azure liquidation parts. He has had a tough time selling them and at this point is ready to take them all to the metal scrapper. This being said, I believe any reasonable offers will be accepted. I do not...

    The motor i'm planning to use in my conversion of 1500 kg (including battery) is an 11 kw ac three phase 1470 rpm motor. I'm planning to retain the transmission. What could be the approximate max speed of the vehicle in the top (5th) gear. The vehicle is a sedan car.

    The motor is the 200-250W it is rated up to 9,000RPM and 30kW continuous power so it is a very strong motor and was originally paired with a 100kW inverter. Big solid brass liquid cooling ports allow it to make that power yet be completely sealed up and about the same size as a 9 inch DC...

    Hello guys!!! In my university conclusion work i'de like to create a low cost conversion kit. For this, i thought that a good idea it's to use a industrial AC motor on a old VW Beetle - maybe this is possible? How much HPs maybe i need? The AC control will be build by me, as part of...

    Yes you read that right and this drive unit didn't get crushed, in fact it is new and un-used as it was purchased many years ago from someone who knew a GM dealer that had one! I've been saving it for a special project of my own but decided that I have too many projects and too much stuff in the...

    So, I've had a good look around and although there is a discussion about cooling motors and controllers, I haven't got a fix on what that looks like for AC motors that have built in cooling capability. Do people use a regular car radiator, fan etc, or do they use other types of cooling systems...

    Hi Everyone, I've been thinking about a conversion for quite some time, and recently came across a great deal on a few motors. I was wondering if I could plumb your collective wisdom for thoughts about whether any of these might work? Motor Manufacture: US Motors Catalog Number: D20E2H Model...
