The Cascadia Motion Systems (RMS) AC Traction Controllers are designed for on-road and off-road Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric (HEV) applications.  


===PM100DX===
The PM-Series and RM-Series families are typically the lightest and smallest inverters for their power due to their high heat flux thermal design approach.  The company has extensive experience in automotive, commercial vehicles, motorsports and military vehicle traction applications.

== RMS Traction Inverters in the News ==
The PM100DX family has a hardware over-voltage detect threshold at 420V +/-5V or so.  This is a non-maskable hardware limit, not a parameter, and you can’t change it.
=== EV Conversions ===
'''[http://ampelectricvehicles.com/ EV Conversion]'''
The 360V nominal rating is for the purpose of statistical tolerance against single-event burnout of IGBTs when there is a large population of units in the field.  This is a shortcoming of Silicon IGBTs and affects the FIT rate, but at very low numbers.  You need to have less than 50% of the breakdown voltage across an IGBT when it is struck by a cosmic ray or it can fail by forming a conducting channel where the particle went through the Silicon chip and the follow-on current will melt the Si in that local area.  An Infineon 650V IGBT3 has actual breakdown at 720V +/-5V, hence the 50% of 720 = 360V.
The drive will operate at full rating up to 420VDC without technical issues, but the over-volt fault detector is pretty fast so typical noise and ripple on the DC Link means you can’t go above 405V or a tad higher without getting occasional “nuisance” fault trips.
Also note that after half a mile the battery voltage will drop to the nominal plateau, and under any kind of load it will droop.  There may be some issues tuning the DC Bus regen override feature to avoid nuisance over-voltage faults as there isn’t much headroom left – but I think this is solvable.
The only physical difference DX –> DXR is a higher value current sensor, there are no other physical differences.

Product Summary

The Cascadia Motion Systems (RMS) AC Traction Controllers are designed for on-road and off-road Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric (HEV) applications.

The PM-Series and RM-Series families are typically the lightest and smallest inverters for their power due to their high heat flux thermal design approach. The company has extensive experience in automotive, commercial vehicles, motorsports and military vehicle traction applications.
