Practical Training - Design and Implementation of an Inverter for RC Model Cars

Institute of Robust Power Semiconductor Systems

In this team work, an inverter for RC model cars will be designed, built and put into operation. The tasks involve component selection, circuit simulation, schematic creation, layout edition, construction, debugging and testing both on the computer as well as in the laboratory.

Information
Course of studies 4th Semester, B.Sc. Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik Universität Stuttgart
Goals In this course, students learn the full design and manufacturing process of power electronic systems. In the framework of this course, the students develop a DC/AC inverter for the control and power supply of a brushless DC motor in an RC model car. The circuit boards developed by the students will be manufactured, the system assembled and put into operation. At the end of the course, they are to be installed in the RC car.
