A bit of progress - I unpacked the Siemens motor. I need a connector for the encoder (I was not sure it had not been included in the motor packing). I also need connectors for the liquid cooling.
I removed my Warp 9 (series DC motor) from where it was installed, in the WIKISPEED motor module. It is ready to be mounted face to face with the AC motor. This is a bit of a strange way to test the AC controller, but it should allow for load testing.
I have a wheeled pallet set up to hold both motors, I found the required joy couplers ... a bit of alignment is required, some brackets to hold everything down ... it will likely take me a couple of weeks to get it all the way it needs to be.
I'll get some pictures and some video posted later this week. I don't get much done in the evenings, so I can at least get the documentation done!
