Inverter hardware build

[Peter]

Just adding my inverter build project to the forum.
Hope you like the inverter set up, crammed as much as possible onto heatsink which was a challenge.
Uses Enova power stage, Damiens CombiV8 control/driver board and Johannes Olimex board and WiFi with programme.
Used industrial plugs and sockets as necessary to allow quick disconnect if I need to alter/repair off the car.
Next stage is to fit a cooling fan, metal cover and sort charging socket which will be part of the inverter as its the easiest point to connect to batteries as they are under the car !
Hope you like it Peter

Yes very nice! I assume DC input is an Anderson connector but what is the three phase one?

Hi Johannes. The three phase is an industry standard plug/socket arrangement for EV use. Cost around £120 !

Subscribed. Very interested in an update. I have a Smith Newton that I want to get running.

Must have come down in price. I just visited that link and they're £33 now.
