Diode across solenoid?
Is adding a flyback diode across solenoid coil necessary on 36v HD carts?

Re: Diode across solenoid?
It is not necessary however I would recommend doing it as it is another way to protect the motor controller, just make sure you get the polarity correct.

Re: Diode across solenoid?
The little micro switch on speed board is only vulnerable part I see and I did have to replace it last year. Figured it was just age but maybe flyback helped kill it (?).
Yep, figured to solder correct diode end (-) to the feed wire so direction can never be changed. ...thing is, this 12v coil (factory 6v) only has a 9v drop and around 900ma across it so is there even much of a flyback to be concerned with? |
