Making 36v resistor to solid state AXE & PB-6
I'm getting ready to start changing my 36v resistor cart over to AXE controller & PB-6 POT and then upgrade to (48V at a later time). I have new 48v 400 amp solenoid & 48v F/R switch for the 48v.
I'm also installing all new 4 AWG wire (2 AWG on the B- like Alltrax tech recommended.) Questions: 1. Until I upgrade to 48v can I keep using the 36v solenoid and F/R switch? 2. Is the PB-6 POT a (Club Car type) setting on the AXE? The plan is to wire everything up as if I were doing the 48v upgrade but will only be running 36v until I buy new bat's. I'm pretty sure the new 48v solenoid & F/R switch will not work on 36v and I'm thinking my existing 36v items will do just fine. Thanks |

Impalass88 - Did you use the Albright SW200 contactor/solenoid in your conversion? I'm trying to make sure that it will handle the 400 continuous amps. Here is the answer that I got from the seller: The SW200 current for mobile and industrial use = 250 amps, for power systems and telecomunications = 400 amp continuous. We normally use them in 48vdc mobile vehicle equipment. |

style of contactor fail (when used properly)." These have special coated contactors to resist arcing and possibly welding themselves together. |

Will do. Heck, I just had you make me new wires to keep the 36V set up and then decided instead of just cleaning up the wires, I might as well change the hole thing over to solid state as ScottyB said and started buying all the items I need. Oh well, I'm sure I can use several of the wires you made for me. |

I went and bought the cable from Radio Shack today for the Alltrax controller. Holly crap that thing was $$$$$ Got a great deal from a member hear on the site for an Altrax 8455 that I'm going to program. Any idea what throttle setting I use for the PB-6? I can always ask the Alltrax tech's, but enjoy getting answers here as well. |

What did you pay for the cable at Radio Shack? I picked mine up online at Sewell Direct for less than $20.00 shipped (2 foot version, 6 footer avilable for $9.00 more). Here is the link. Maybe you can return the one to RS and get this instead to save some coin. http://sewelldirect.com/usbtoserial.asp |
