GT6 mk3 conversion to electric

Hi Alec,

Yep, that's my idea at the mo. Use an AC 3phase induction motor with a Curtis controller. *Much*  more controllable than DC, safer, less maintenance (brushless) *and* regenerative braking to boot !!
3phase AC is a must for a serious conversion.

I noted the big manufacturers use 300+ V of AC but it seems 170V is about the max for us DIY'ers with the norm being around 96 to 144V.  Anyways my idea at the mo is 120-odd V AC.

I'love keep posting my progress. Thanks again.
