The company's relocated from San Diego to Chatsworth, California, and is back on the scopes at Green Car Reports with what it calls an Electric Crate Motor. Out went the mid-mounted 2.9-liter V8 making 280 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, in went 48 lithium-ion batteries powering three AC51 HPEVS electric motors that cumulatively produced 465 hp and 330 lb-ft. FRAME 364TĢ.Three years ago, an outfit called Electric GT (EGT), led by Eric Hutchison, hit the green tech radar by converting a 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS to an electric car. TOSHIBA B2006FLF4BSW – Motors/GearBox/Clutch & Motor SuppliesĢ00HP 30.SPEED(RPM) 900. factory curb weight range (not gross vehicle weight). The HiPer Drive AC50 motor is suitable for vehicles in the 2,000 – 2,500 lbs. For accurate identification, a motor should be identified by name or model number. It is also confusing to compare electric motors to gas engines, since electric motors are given a continuous rating under load, and gas engines are rated at their peak horsepower with no parasitic loads, such as water pumps or alternators. It is not accurate to refer to a “10 hp motor” or a “15 hp motor”, because horsepower will vary with volts and amps, and the peak horsepower will be much higher than the continuous rating. If you are using unusual batteries, we will ask for some specific technical specs.
Motor rotation direction (CCW is standard). For this reason, we need very specific information about your system to place your order: These are integrated drive systems, with the motor, controller, and charger all custom configured at the manufacturer to fit YOUR conversion. The lighter vehicle means more peppy performance. This saves the cost of extra batteries, the space needed to fit extra batteries, and the weight of extra batteries. Their systems are different from conventional AC vehicle drive systems in that they do not require high voltage. The business is now known as High Performance Electric Vehicle Systems (HPEVS), and we refer to their system as the HiPer Drive. They progressed from appliance motors to golf carts motors, and then expanded up into high performance AC motor for passenger cars. The Seymour family has been building AC motors for nearly 50 years. Note: Due to the excessive weight of motors additional freight charges apply. Max Temperature: 180 Degrees Celsius (356 Degrees Fahrenheit) Integrated Sensors: Encoder and Temperatureĭrive End Shaft: 1 1/8 Inch With 1/4 Inch KeywayĪccessory End Shaft: Optional 7/8 Inch With 3/16 Keyway At 72 volts, it makes a safer low voltage system that will give you lots of reliable EV miles. Features include regenerative braking as well as an idle function. This kit works very well in medium sized cars & lightweight vehicles. It can draw up to 550A producing up to 40 HP and 108 ft-lbs of torque. The AC-34 is an AC motor that operates at 36-60V. Thermal Cooling: Internal oil pump with water heat exchangeĬurtis 1236SE-5621 HPEVS AC-34 Brushless AC Motor Kit – 48 Volts Peak Power: 210 HP Peak (w/150kW controller) Peak Torque: 280 Lb Ft Peak (w/150kW controller) It was designed for use in an automotive application with a curb weight of 4000 lbĪM Racing AMR 250-90 Single AC Motor – Liquid Cooled, Permanent Magnet – Remy Cartridge It is capable of producing 88 horsepower and 108 ft-lbs. The AC 51 motor is the same 8″ motor that has been designed around the Curtis 144 volt controller. This motor is designed to work with the new controller allowing for peak torque to go out further in the RPM range. With the introduction of the new Curtis 144 volt controller we are now offering the AC-51 motor. It is available with or without a 7/8″ auxiliary shaft. This system is used in other vehicles that require the torque and horsepower that this motor supplies. It was designed for use in an automotive application with a curb weight of 3500 lbs or less. The AC 50 motor is an 8″ motor that is capable of producing 71 horsepower and 120 ft-lbs. PEVS AC Electric-Motor Drive Systems (AC-50/AC-51) AC motor better so you can use regenerative brakes but cost at least $5,000 more
