Formula SAE (FSAE) Electric is an international collegiate design competition hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers in which teams of students design, build and race fully electric, formula-style race cars. Due to the strict rules and the nature of the competition, teams are pushed to use the lightest, most power-dense motor available. However, almost all off-the-shelf motor inverters are either prohibitively expensive, especially for a student design team, or do not properly satisfy the rules ofthe FSAE Electric competition. As such, this project aims to develop a custom motor inverter prototype that will be fully legal under competition regulations while being designed with a focus on low cost, low weight, and ease of integration.
