EV Inverter Project

The Electric Vehicle (EV) Inverter project is a starting point for engineers trying to convert a vehicle with a gas engine to one with an electric motor. The innovative inverter was built using a control board and software based on Microchip Technology’s MC-1 development board. It features a dsPIC30F6010A and three dual IGBT modules with gate driver boards. The finished system can power a wide range of AC induction motors.
