SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
The AC-150 drive system includes a power
electronics unit and AC-induction traction motor that
combine to provide high performance, high efficiency,
and rapid, convenient charging capabilities for electric
vehicle applications. The system delivers up to 150
kW (200 hp) motor output, yet maximizes vehicle
operating range with high efficiency over a broad
operating range and comprehensive energy recovery
through regenerative braking.
Voltage
336 360 V nominal
240 V min, 450 V max
Current
580 Adc max (drive)
-200 Adc max (regeneration)
Torque
220 Nm max, 0-5,000 rpm (drive)
115 Nm max (regeneration)
Power
150 kW max, 7,000-8,000 rpm
50 kW continuous at 8,000 rpm
(torque and power at 336V DC input)
The AC-150 embodies patented control and
construction techniques that allow the power
electronics and motor windings to be re-configured as
a high-rate Reductive battery charger. By using
existing components, the Reductive Charger
reduces vehicle cost and weight. By allowing safe
charging from existing 110V to 240V outlets at rates
as high as 20 kW, the Reductive Charger reduces
infrastructure installation requirements and costs, and
its innovative bi-directional power capability allows self
contained vehicle battery diagnostics, standby power
generation, and value-added grid power functions.
Efficiency: 91% peak (50 kW, 9000 rpm)
86% road load (8 kW, 8500 rpm)
>93% recharge (240V line, 10 kW)
