Hey Does anyone know the power of MG1 and then MG2? Im guessing the 67hp is both of the motors power combined? Just wondering specs on both motors Its been said MG1 cant run to at least 9500rpm (newer models, i have a 05). If so then MG2 can run you on just electric to about 65mph without problems from what i seen on a calculator someone built. Also does anyone have the power requirements for the MG2 and MG1.
50 KW max on MG2, and maybe 15 KW for MG1. See the Argonne and Oakridge papers, pointed to in my linkfarm. . _H*
Great, thanks. This link ( http://www.ornl.gov/~webworks/cppr/y2001/rpt/121813.pdf - PAGE 20) did have that 50KW at 500V AC Three Phase on the MG2 but little info on the MG1 which is fine as i needed basic info on MG2 specifically. This PDF ( http://www.osti.gov/bridge/servlets/purl/890029-WIfqPO/890029.PDF ) which looks like the good stuff doesnt work anymore. After seaching the bridge for the "890029" i couldnt find it. Do you have a copy of that PDF?
Well, that's damned annoying. They had to go and MOVE it and do gratuitous website changes, didn't they, just like Tim Berners-Lee told them to NEVER do. . Okay, search WHAT for ORNL/TM-2006/423? The OSTI site search engine returns zero matches for that, or Prius, or anything relevant. I need to find a new DIRECT pointer to the pdf, because I'm writing up another article that draws heavily from it. I've got my own local copy, of course, and was unaware that someone had pulled a stupid as far as where the original lives. . Oh, and for the sake of this exercise, google is NOT an answer. The sites that supposedly present this information should be held to actually making it FINDABLE and ACCESSIBLE without relying on external band-aids. . [Edit: I'm in the process of tracking this through external avenues, and it's getting a bit interesting. Details later.] . _H*
I believe it is 50KW for MG2 and 30KW for MG1 so that under worst case conditions the 20KW from the battery plus the 30KW output of MG1 can supply the full input to MG2. kevin
890029.PDF is restored! . I eventually reached David Hamrin at Oakridge, who investigated and found that a minor bureaucratic screwup had removed the report quite unintentionally. He put it back, and all is well, hopefully for the foreseeable long term. . I still stuck in a link to a local copy in my stuff, in case it disappears again. While it's a great read there are a few minor things wrong in it, and I possibly raised a few eyebrows by bringing some of them up in my own material. So if there is some sort of withdrawal policy, it may mysteriously kick in at some point if someone thinks that's enough of an issue. . Personally I don't think it's an issue, and it's all good. I'm almost done with the latest side-trip in the inverter journey -- a piece about the boost circuit and some of *its* mysteries, and I'll post the pointer here when it's done. . _H*
