The Drive System of the DOE Near-Term Electric Vehicle (ETV-1) 800058
This paper describes the dc, separately excited, motor drive system of the DOE-General Electric-Chrysler Electric Test Vehicle (ETV-1) recently developed under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sponsorship.
Engineering details of all the major drive system components, including the motor armature, field controllers, and the microprocessor-based propulsion controller, are given with appropriate design and test results.
