Sure thing. For a pile driver, the key is to match the supply to the pulse load. First, use a big capacitor bank or a small flywheel to absorb the peak current and smooth the supply. Pair that with an efficient 400 V DC‑to‑AC inverter that runs at a variable frequency; that lets you control the motor speed during lift and lock, reducing idle torque. Keep the transformer or inverter rated just above your max demand so you avoid over‑stress, but not so high that you waste voltage headroom. If you can, add a regenerative circuit so the motor can feed back energy during the braking phase—this cuts your net draw. Finally, make sure the wiring and switches are rated for the transient currents; a 3‑phase setup with proper sizing keeps losses low and keeps the system balanced. That’s the quick formula: big storage for peaks, efficient drive for steady state, and a bit of regen to reclaim some power.

The flywheel sits on the motor shaft, sized to store enough kinetic energy to smooth the 10‑second lift cycle. A 2‑ton, 50‑rad/s wheel works well; it keeps the current spikes under 150 % of the rated value. Mount it on a low‑friction bearing, and use a magnetic brake that only engages when the system’s below idle. That keeps the energy recoverable and the brakes out of the way during normal operation. Keep the wheel’s speed under 60 rad/s to avoid any over‑speed issues, and you’ll see a steady, efficient drive with minimal chatter.

Got it—I'll calibrate the brake curve so it engages just before the flywheel crosses 60 rad/s. Add a small sensor to give the controller a warning once it nears the limit, so we can cut the input voltage a fraction before the “stop” shout is needed. That way the motor stays in its sweet spot and the driver keeps humming.
