HI everyone,
I am currently in the design phase of an electric car project and ran into a snag with the drive circuitry. I am trying to design a system that I can vary the speed and have both a forward and reverse setting. I am wanting to use power relays and use a three position switch to select fwd and reverse with the mid position as neutral. I also want it to have the capability to control the speed of the motor with a variable speed controller. I want to keep it as close to aviation in nature as that is what I know the best but I will use what will work.
I have the accessory system already designed as it was the easiest to do but I also will be coming to you guys with more questions about tying in multiple charging systems from two generators (I am considering alternators as well), several Ram Air Turbines as well as Solar panels and if I would need charge controlling devices.
Addition information, for the drive system there are at the present time 4 batteries of Deep cycle marine orbital gel cell batteries in two sets in series and one battery to power the accessories which all need to have their charge maintained. I should add I don't accept the word impossible or it can't be done as I believe that anything can be accomplished.
