club car regen controller '97 to '01
I am new to this forum and looking for help in taking a club car Power Drive Plus (Regen II) controller and using it to control a 12V winch motor.
What I need is information on how to and what else I would need to vary the output voltage of the controller. I am trying to use 12 to 24 dcv as input and vary the output voltage to motor. Thanks, Mardig |

Re: club car regen controller '97 to '01
why would you want to vary the input to a 12v winch motor ?
they are made to use 12v of power... more volts will burn the motor up .. less than 12v will also harm them too |

So putting a 36 volt motor in a 48 volt system will burn it up? And a 48 volt motor in a 36 volt cart will harm it also ? OK! A controller does not vary voltage it varies the pulse width so disregard this, now a winch motor is not a regen motor so that controller would not work. |

Greg-g,
You're comparing a light duty motor to a heavy duty motor. The windings and armature in a Winch Motor are not made like the ones in a Golf Cart motor, and the variances in voltage will damage them. Winches get their power from gearing and are made to run at a constant voltage for short periods of time. If you put too much or too little voltage into the motor on a winch, or run the winch for too long of a time without giving it a cool down period, the windings will melt because they are physically smaller than the ones on a Golf Cart motor. -Scott H. |

Re: club car regen controller '97 to '01
Greg-g, I saw the statement about the controller. My post was towards your saying that running a Golf Cart motor on the wrong voltage will burn the motor up like it would if you ran a winch motor on the wrong voltage.
Mardig, I'm glad you have your answer as to why it wouldn't be a good idea to run the motor on a lower voltage. The only way to slow it down is to swap the gearing unfortunately. -Scott H. |
