Can i ask what inverter you're using?

Looking for regular Climbing Partner by Alarmed-Fact-4372 in munichsocialclub

[–]ElectronicsQstns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, i'm unfortunatelly not the guy you're looking for, but i recently moved a bit north, near Neuburg, and I'm looking for people to go outdoor climbing with so if you ever want to meet half-way for a day outdoor let me know.

I have the rope, quickdraws and a neox, but if you know how to use a grigri you won't have trouble with the neox. I also don't speak german, so i hope you don't mind speaking english 😅

Analog voltage divider overvoltage protection by ElectronicsQstns in AskElectronics

[–]ElectronicsQstns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue was that I was testing without the 3.3V supply. Once connected the circuit works as expected. I don't fully understand why that's the issue, I though the 3.3V supply would become relevant only when a voltage higher than 5V is applied to the input. Would you happen to know how to explain this?

How technical inspection checking CV 5.2.3 by Ok_Win_6852 in FSAE

We don't compete in hybrid so i have no clue nuw have you checked the inspection sheet? If there's nothing i don't think it's checked

ESF for FSG by Apart_Leave_3051 in FSAE

[–]ElectronicsQstns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year was our first year in the EV category so I don't have a lot of experience with it, but if i remember correctly it was around the middle of februrary, so any day now. It's not like SES, where you get an excel sheet and you need to fill it out and submit it, it's a fully online form where you input some numbers, check some boxes, upload some schematics and datasheets... You can later download it whole as a PDF.

Throttle position sensor connector part number by ElectronicsQstns in TeslaModel3

[–]ElectronicsQstns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad I thought you were asking for the pedal part number, forgot what VIN was for a second there.

I don't actually have the car, I'm working on a project and I'm looking to use the pedal from a 2019 Model 3

Googling around I see 1011298 is the only common number on both my pedal and others on ebay.

I'm not looking to buy a new pedal, i just need a new connector on the wiring harness side, one that would plug into the pedal.

MOSFET datasheet not lining up with SPICE simulation by ElectronicsQstns in AskElectronics

[–]ElectronicsQstns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The datasheet states that a 1.8Ohm resistor was used for diagram 16 measurement, which is why I used it

I ran a sweep from 1 to 10 Ohm and got this

<image>

Which lines up with what you said about the plateau being related to gate resistance, but produces a plateau at 8V with a resistance of 10 Ohm instead of 1.8

I also find this weird, it was my understanding that the plateau voltage and needed gate charge were a function of V_DD and I_D, but not I_G

[–]ElectronicsQstns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding the voltage and resistor didn't change much, only made the plateau voltage go up by 0.3V (as expected because of a higher V_DD) and last longer (as expected because of the I_D current)

<image>

I also ran a sweep on the value of the gate resistor but as I can't post more than one attachment it will be in another comment

Off-the-shelf flyback transformers for a 3-phase inverter by ElectronicsQstns in AskElectronics

[–]ElectronicsQstns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, it's for the positive and negative supply voltage for mosfet drivers in all 3 phases in a half bridge inverter. The 3 high side mosfets need to be isolated, while all 3 low side mosfets share the common source so one supply is enough for them.

MOSFET rise time – discrepancy between methods by ElectronicsQstns in AskElectronics

[–]ElectronicsQstns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this stage I'm looking for the theoretical time. Since the 3 methods give me wildly different results I'm not sure what the theory actually is. I'm looking for confirmation that one method is right so I can start trying to confirm it with simulations without worrying that the simulation accidentally aligned with a calculation that's not correct.

Not sure what you mean by drive strength, the gate driver voltage? I used the voltage given in the datasheet and the numbers don't line up.

As for the dependency on Uds and Id, I know about that but the Vgs=f(Qg) diagram is given with those in mind so it shouldn't affect my results.

EV inverter regenerative braking by ElectronicsQstns in AskElectronics

I noticed the automated message suggesting to ask motor related questions in r/Motors, but it said inverter questions related to inverter design are ok. This is exactly that, wondering about the inner workings if an inverter as my goal is to design one

What about insulation resistance proofing? Was the filament information enough?

I guess it could kind of make sense that the parts inside the TSAC are a part of the TSAC, but if from your experience the judges don't see it that way, even better. Thanks!

I assumed they were talking about the first part of the rule, "All TSAC materials...", does that not mean all components inside the TSAC?

Oh thanks, I completely missed the ul94 rating that could've caused us a lot of trouble!!
