Maddness

I was looking at using two 3080s to power an electric kart, but I couldn't find an ESC that could handle the voltage and amperage. I checked out the Power Jazz, but it can only handle 120 amps. If you used all 120 continuously and 63 volts, you could only produce 7560 watts. You need a 63 volt controller that can handle 160 amps continuous to produce 10kw. Schulze has two that can handle the amps (Future 32.170 and 40.160), but they fall short on voltage. I'm sure that there is an industrial company that has one, but I dont know of any controller capable of handling it. I'm sure there is one out there or else Lehner couldn't sell any of their 30 series motors. The car would have to be built around the motor. I dont think any current production car would be able to take 10kw even with upgrades.... maybe the Baja 5B. That would be incredible! Anyway... sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you find a controller please tell me. I'm always looking for stuff like that. If I find one, I'll tell you.
