Needed: Prius Gen3 inverter
Anyone have an unused Prius inverter they'd like to sell? Hoping to get it faster than via ebay.

Re: Needed: Prius Gen3 inverter
I have used Auris inverter dissassembled to fit control board on it. It is in working condition but currently i dont currently have time to mess with it...
I also have Yaris inverter which i cant use for charging since its main cap is not rated high enough for comfort.
I took off their OEM control boards and i currently sport some openinverter control board.

Johanes,
Try here:
https://allegro.pl/listing?string=PRZET ... RIUS%20III
You can find it for reasonable price - around 500 zl=<100€ and shipping is fast.
I received it in 3 days in Croatia. Shipping is around 200 zl.

Re: Needed: Prius Gen3 inverter
Great, might come back to either of this! Swapping the power stage should be sufficient.
But for now I'll try something else: wired the inductor to phase 2 of MG2 so I can just use boost mode charging on the STM32.

Re: Needed: Prius Gen3 inverter
Experiment failed. Since the converter is on the same DC bus as the inverters, the entire bus is shorted. Also the DC/DC converter is no longer working for some reason. So will have to replace the whole unit.

Re: Needed: Prius Gen3 inverter
That is strange... I would expect that they don't ship to Croatia but do to Germany.

Ask seller directly and you should be good.
