Re: Looking to upgrade 93 Marathon, help
The controller limits the amount of amperage the motor can draw. Since the controller sets the system operation limits it sets the tone for upgrades. All the components in the amperage system must be up to the level of the controller or the system will fail.
In a nutshell: The motor is trying to access 100% of the pack everytime you press the gas. The controller is limiting how much amperage can flow to the motor The solenoid is a on/off safety switch The F&R is a flow (direction) switching device (series carts) The cables are like pipes in a water system... It all has to work together. When you press the gas the controller allows battery pack amperage to pass. How much amperage passes depends upon the throttle position signal. Amperage flows through all the components above to the motor. If one part is left stock and the others are upgraded - the stock part will melt. Basically. I hope this helps |
