John,Yes, the 3 phase output is pretty easy to be directly rectified into a battery pack and regulate the motor speed to get the current output you want, since the battery pack voltage is not much going to change, so with just small variations in engine rpm you will vary output current and thereby power output.The current waveform will not be pretty, just like with all bad boys, but 3 phase is much better than single phase.Success!Cor.

So, I happen to have an older 3 phase, 60KW generator head. I also have a small car engine with all the pollution controls. My battery pack is fully charged at 332VDC. I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to use this generator as a range extender. While driving my PFC-50 would help some, that's only 12KW. Would a "bad boy" full wave 3 phase rectifier work? (I'd probably need to adjust the voltage output of the generator.) Is it possible to build a voltage regulator that adjusts the voltage QUICKLY in order to get something closer to a square wave output rather than the normal sine wave? -- Worlds only All Electric F-250 truck! http://john.casadelgato.com/Electric-Vehicles/1995-Ford-F-250 _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
