Why such high voltages on EV or hybrid.
Playing with my ABB drive I noticed a familiar number. My ABB drive is a single phase 208 to 240vac input unit who's inverter has a 350dcv bus voltage when hooked up to 240vac power.
Where have we seen 350 volts before?
What are some common battery voltages used on EV and hybrids? Well 270 to 350 DC volts of course.
Common normal single phase voltage for a lower voltage non 480 volt drive is 208v and 240vac AC. Which should make between 290 and 350vdc.
It's like they just repurposed and slightly reengineered existing industrial drive designs for automotive use.
