It had  the same Eagle Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:24:35 GMT Steve Hawkins http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/551 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/551 Hi all, I recently came across a brochure of a 1990 (yes, 90) TEVan; or at least it is pictured in a 1990 body style. I am wondering what if it was a Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:36:26 GMT Steve Powers http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/550 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/550 I saw it on their website yesterday. Not enough voltage for a TeVan, but I am sure all the Soleq owners are thrilled now that they have an alternative to Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:38:18 GMT jleverington http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/549 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/549 Yes that is the company I contacted (Electrocraft Systems).  I contacted several other companies.  I don't remember them all.  Kelly was one of them and Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:08:24 GMT rodhower@... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/548 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/548 The original motor control was only 350A in the armature circuit.  It would probably fireball at 800, especially if he had the field current map incorrect in Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:01:11 GMT rodhower@... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/547 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/547 is it this company? http://pages.interlog.com/~dgv/ or do you have another link. Hard to believe they could make one that cheap.  I would make sure you have a Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:26:04 GMT Steve Powers http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/546 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/546 It depends on what specs he is building it to. You need an controller at least equivilent to an 800 Motor Amp on the armature.  You are talking about a Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:44:40 GMT jleverington http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/545 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/545 Well I had a little bit of time to play with the van and still trying to make the old controller work. I contacted a few companies in the mean time asking Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:16:08 GMT alexander hill http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/544 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/544 I may be ignorant here, but wouldn't a forklift controller work? It is, after all, a forklift motor. Would Manville electric motors be of help? Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:58:23 GMT Steve Powers http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/543 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/543 I thought someone would post the actual motor control algorithm in response to Jared's question. I know someone else also working on a home built controller Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:23:51 GMT Steve Powers http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/542 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/542 I know of 3 people who retrofitted Sep Ex systems with other controllers.  Two were 108 V systems.  They other, I think was 96 or 120 V.   I am the first Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:56:19 GMT jleverington http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/541 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/541 I ditched the DC/DC converter in my Fiero.  I just dropped in a 12 volt motorcycle deep cycle battery.  It has been 100 percent reliable, I just have a 12 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:07:25 GMT alexander hill http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/540 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan/message/540 Hey Jared, Unplug the negative battery for one minute and plug it back in to see if it works. Maybe it's just an odd glitch in my van but it seems to work.
