The resolver offset is encoded into the inverter. The offset is laser etched onto the motor casing and the programming has been reverse engineered. The 160KW inverter was used in the 63KWh Leaf+. On Tue, 5 Nov 2024 at 21:40, John Lussmyer via EV wrote: > > On 11/5/2024 11:36 AM, Paul Compton via

And back to my original issue: Question 2: Do any of the aftermarket VCU's WORK with the 160Kw unit. I am NOT asking about driving a 110KW one at 160KW. If I find one that was 160KW from the factory, will any of the 3rd party VCU's allow it to reach full power? -- next part --

And back to my original issue. Question 1: Does the VIN have an indicator if the Leaf was shipped with the 160Kw drive setup? If so, could someone tell me what to look for. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

So, do ALL 2018 or newer Leaf's have the Gen3 inverter? Or is there something I need to check to be sure I get that one? On 11/4/2024 1:52 PM, Paul Compton via EV wrote: There are only two Leaf motors. The EM61 was used up to about 2013, had stronger magnets (more torque, less rpm) and was conn

There are only two Leaf motors. The EM61 was used up to about 2013, had stronger magnets (more torque, less rpm) and was connected to the inverter by a short cable. The EM57 has been in all Leafs since and introduced the 'stack' arrangement with Inverter, Charger/DC-DC and Power distribution box

I'm looking at using a Nissan Leaf motor for my truck The newest version is rated at 160hp, and appears to have started being used in 2018. Were ALL Nissan Leafs after that using this larger version of the motor? How do I tell which version a motor is? -- next part -- An
