And yes, this ISN'T rocket science (though that is just an exaggeration because rocket science isn't as hard as developing a nuclear reactor)  . Also, what is this company you work in? I am designing a microcar, and I am having a difficult time in finding a good speed controller that is a lot more advanced than those crappy DIY ones available! Everything will be controlled by MCUs, like the QC we are talking about!
Ryan, after you build this with Arduino, I'd like to see you post a video of it, and for a challenge, you should place an RPI doing vision tracking to automate this QC!
Goog luck! |

You are welcome to disagree.
I am interested in what process you used to arrive at the component selection recomendations you have made regarding the MOSFET, capacitor, diode and regulator. Please also post a schematic showing how you feel these components should be connected to clarify your descriptions in your previous posts in this thread.
There are a number of manufacturers of motor controllers for the EV conversion market. In your thread about your microcar, I had already directed you to your local branch of the HEAA where it is much more likely that someone with the appropriate expertise to help you.
I am not aware of Toshiba manufacturing any 3-phase motor drives suitable for the automotive market. If they did, there would be an exclusive supply agreement with an OEM such as Ford or Toyota and one would only be able to purchase those drives from a car dealership. If you are really curious, the following is a link to one of the products that I have been doing R&D work on. These are aimed at heavy-industrial and oil-field applications.
