The Saminco M1-500 AC Traction Inverter is the traction/propulsion controller for the hydrogen fueled world land speed record Buckeye Bullet 2 (This same inverter also powered the BB1 to the electric record).

Initial system testing has reached a peak of 800HP from the fuel cell stack for the Saminco Traction Inverter to deliver to the AC Induction motor.
