I-Pace is 400V, not 800V. Great vid, thanks!

Those are still Torx screws, they're called "External Torx" or "Inverted Torx", or vendor-neutrally "Hexalobular External" (as opposed to "Hexalobular Internal" for the regular ones). The tool sizes for the external ones start with E instead of T.

You definitely have an art at explaining fundamentals. Wished you could do more content. Thanks

Happy to see you back! Now it’s time for a new inverter project! ❤

Great video! It's great to see you back as well 😁

Hey great video man I'm having a great time watching it, the springy ringy things are called CirClips, or retaining springs, or snap rings!

Amazing that you got that motor for free! And they couldn’t have found a better person for it. 😁 “700 subscribers is insane”. You just had your 40k ama. Congrats!

10 / 10 for the video. 6 / 10 for the sound effects. Loves it 😂

3:39 love the little "hurrah"

Bit of a tip for disassembling automotive bits like this - instead of prying at the split line to separate the motor from the gearbox, find a flat face on one of the parts facing the right direction and hit that with a rubber mallet

Great to see you upload again. Awaiting the next video on the Direct Current Control series. Cheers 🥂

@14:51 As an AE I wanna you that Hellical Gears Are used in Power Transmission because it Provides more face width due to their diagonal shape,Which enables them to handle greater loads as compared to a Spur gear of the same size....And their shape also enables more teeth to stay in contact with each other at a time..making them ideal for the Planetary Gearbox setup of Automatic transmission just like this one you dismantled.. My interest in power electronics and the YouTube algorithm led me to your gem channel,And get me hooked I really have a Request,just like you did an awesome video on Linear Power supply.I really wish you made a video on traction motor controller and their components,it will really help us to understand how they work.And why those components they are necessary.❤❤

Had my I PACE six years. I have electrical knowledge, so happy to see what’s in my car. Did you ever find out why there was a difference in the windings.

Great video, I work at a JLR retailer as a master tech and found this very interesting

⭐️ this was emm….. flippin incredible, just brilliant.

The bolts you speak of at the beginning of the video are known as either: External Torx bolts, or Torx bolts. Great video !

Certainly beefier than the washing machine motors we used to see on robot wars!

3:50 - I suspect the reason it won't turn is the parking pawl is engaged (effectively, the gearbox is in "park").

Both ST and TI offer developer boards that will do sensorless motor drive using field orientated control. The boards will also profile the motor where they spin the thing and measure all of it's parameters. As far as I know they offer these in low voltage (60V limit) and high voltage (mains) variants. I don't think they are that outrageously expensive so they might be a decent option. Another option would be a higher voltage hobby remote control motor esc board. I'm not sure how high these go up to through.

Supplying a phase of motor winding with DC like he did is also used in DC Injection Braking. The motivation for injecting DC into one winding can be seen when he struggles to rotate the rotor after powering with DC. The permanent magnet poles and the winding poles align and are reluctant to un-align.
