OWNVERTER - Three-phase reprogrammable Inverter

OwnTech's OWNVERTER reprogrammable power inverter is a bi-directional 1kW three-phase inverter. It features a 12V to 72V low side and a single 10V to 100V high side. Its maximum current value is 13A per power channel.

It is compatible with multiple types of speed sensors such as sin-cos and hall.

A photo of the OwnVerter

A reasonable power rating is 1kW. The OwnVerter is meant to operate at 200kHz.

The OWNVERTER inverter is fully open-source, with a strong compatibility with the Zephyr RTOS and modular programming approach. A MATLAB® suit for code generation is also available for auto-generating the code.

OwnTech's OWNVERTER Reprogrammable inverter has a dedicated SPIN control board composed of a STM32G474RE microcontroller connected to power drivers and a series of peripherals. This board is electrically isolated from the power side.

Questions

How big is the OWNVERTER PCB?

It measures 100 × 160 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.56 mm thick.

What parts does the OWNVERTER use?

474 parts, built around the ACS730KLCTR-20AB-T, AMC1100DUB, FODM217A and AZ1117CH-5.0TRG1. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the OWNVERTER KiCad files?

From the owntech-foundation/OWNVERTER repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD_files/ownverter.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD_files/Feeder.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OWNVERTER design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask owntech-foundation before reusing the design.
