A new series of brushless motors and controllers have been designed and are being offered to the participants of the GM sponsored Sunrayce. The design, function, and application are discussed. Unique characteristics of the motors and controllers are explained. The author's company has been involved with drive systems for solar cars since 1987. They have developed a standard motor and controller line that used the requirements of small vehicles as the design criteria. This paper describes the motor drive system and how it interfaces to the vehicle control.
