Curtis inverters

Using a Curtis charger with a Lithiumate BMS.

High Performance Electric Vehicles (HPEVS) offers a complete solution that includes a Curtis inverter and an Elithion Lithiumate Pro BMS, with the VCL programming already done for you.

The Curtis 123x inverter motor drivers are controlled through the CAN bus.

Therefore, they require a VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which provides the interface between the inverter and the remainder of the system (including a BMS). The VCU must be programmed to work with all the components in the system, including the Brusa Inverter and the BMS (such as the Elithion Lithiumate).

Unlike other motor drivers, these inverters do include VCU hardware. The user needs to program these motor inverters to work with the remainder of the system, through Curtis' "VCL" programming language.

In 2011, Elithion and Curtis actively worked together to develop a solution to enable direct interface between our two products. Unfortunately, Curtis never followed through with its part of the collaboration.
