Electric Go Kart - 72600 + DLC-28 72v 40ah Batttery

[shenta]

Hello All,

Would like to share my latest project, electric kart with DLC-28 and my 72600 controller, packed with 22s 40ah MNC batteries.
The goal was for 60hp, utilize every last drop of what DLC-28 could offer, but as I took the motor apart, it is somewhat disappointing, the wires they use for motor winding is not rated up to their spec. sheet, so I try to keep the phase amp down to keep the motor cool.

Anyway, enjoy the video:

hmm the DLC-28 peaks out at 38kW (~52hp)
Where's the 60 coming from?

I think the KHB12401 is a much better matching controller though (peaks at 400Amp and delivers 200Amp continuously.. as opposed to the KEB72600 with peak 280 and 110Amp cont.)

Anyways: WOW congrats... I mean 1500 bucks for just the motor is ambitious to say the least
Tell us more about it (a pic showing all the goodies for example)

Hello Sid,

Thanks for the thumb up, the 72600 is the controller I am making, it can do 72v 600amp battery and 800 amps phase (motor current). Kelly is not a good motor controller, it does not do Field Oriented Control nor support Sin / Cos encoder. MPC-72600 is just little bit more powerful than Sevcon Gen4 size 6.

As for where 60hp coming from, I have mod this motor as Ripperton has with his, change better magnet, more wires...etc. I am re-designing this motor too, hopefully it can do 45hp cont.

Thanks again for the thumb up.
I will post the mod process once I got the pictures clean up.
