Hello Brilliant People!

I myself am working on a Chevy S-10 conversion. I need a DC controller for a 11" Kostov, or possibly a 9" ADC. Hopefully the Kostov. Essentially though, my battery will be 200v (max) and 144v(min) as it is a 48s Setup of Chevy Volt lithium batteries. Also, this is a utility pickup, and my summers are HOT. The Kostov I believe is rated for 250 amps continuous at 192v. So I need a controller that can sustain this in a hot environment (meaning, 110 - 115 def F - yes it's that crazy around here).... so maybe the controller should be rated for 300 or even 400 amps continuous. That would be good. I'm interested in water cooling.

What I have to offer / trade:
This older IGBT setup which was at one point scrapped for reasons I do not know. I don't even know what it was originally designed to do. And, I don't know if these particular IGBT's are even useful to the geniuses on here. I also have a Curtis 500A 120v controller which is basically acting funny / weak / intermittent and is therefore no use to me. Researching the IGBT's I can see that they are valuable if useful...

But I'm just putting it out there to see if anyone is interested. I can offer a little extra cash with this for the right controller.... I just can't afford a new one like a Soliton Jr. HV which would be ideal.

Attached are pics. This unit basically consists of:

Partial enclosure (mounting of components)
Massive Aluminum Heatsink (original to IGBT's)
Two 24 volt fans (working, tested)
Original Capacitors:
4x Cornell Dubilier 2100 mF 450VDC
IGBT's:
3x PRX PM150DSA120
1x PRX CM100E3U-24H
1x IOR 52MT120KB

IGBT Links (what I could find)

I would be happy to test these modules if someone could instruct me how to do so.
I know if you look closely some of the IGBT pins are bent - NOT broken - and I believe they can be straightened but I will leave that to you.

This thing is pretty heavy. I am willing to ship to you as you ship to me.
Anyone with ideas or proposals? PM me or let's chat here.

Cheers!

Your parts look like the power stage from a three phase on-line uninterruptible power supply.

Do you think they would be useful to anyone experimenting with homebrew controllers?

You could make your own motor controller with that equipment, they are rated 150 Amps 1200 Volts each, if the 3 could be driven in parallel you would have a 450 Amp driver.

That's what I was hoping for... but I'm not an electronics genius... more like a complete novice at the ICB level... and I'm looking to drive a 11" DC Kostov in a Chevy S-10... I hardly trust myself to even try. That's why I was hoping to trade someone for something that's ready to go yet simple (plus me giving some cash)...

Another possibility for trade is for me to receive a basic 500a 120v controller which I could then use in my Bradley (running 100v)... and I could take the LogiSystems 700amp 144v controller from the Bradley and use it in the S-10 (assuming, as I've read, that the Logisysytem will run up to 198v which is based on a post I found listing the 144v model as having a operating range up to 198v)

I just don't want to leave the Bradley non-functional as it's working pretty nice right now!

Thanks for the feedback!

Would anyone here be interested in a used NORDAC SK 700E Frequency Inverter???

Would make a nice air cooled heat sink for a Huebner inverter even my Paul/Sabrina ac inverter project. Power components are pretty much useless for my application.

Here is a datasheet for the igbts, they are not really 150A but 100A rating--seems powerex was not really honest with their part number and the specsheet.

I see... but wait. There is ONE of those (shown in your Data sheet). And THREE of these others, pn: PM150DSA120

I'm looking forward to hear back from you on that motor / adapter!!!
