Have not given up on quest for 3 phase drive on electric vehicle.
Have another thread "electric vehicle"
Have a vendor for the controller suggesting using permanent magnet brushless 3 phase. Please assume I know nothing about these (which is close to the truth).
I looked at the motor mfr he suggested
http://www.powertecmotors.com/pactorq.html#ptcat
It appears to be an option but I still need to do some studying.
I would like the feedback from that use these and find out the real world results and experience.
The first question I have is
What will they do for me in this application?
What advantage will it have over a regular 3 phase squirrel cage?
I intend to electrify a small pickup, retain transmisssion and rest of drive train. Motor RPM at 60 mph in 3rd gear is slightly more than 3600. If I design for mostly 60 mph will need 30 HP if I design for say 35 to 45 more like 20 HP (due to windage)
Thanks for help
