Re: Increasing the speed of a Series Motor
That is a big controller, sorry for repeating but running the motor with Field Weakening activated during a torque condition (going up hill) will heat the Motor up pretty quickly.

I installed a few LEDs on my dash by just drilling a hole, pushing the LED from the back and putting hot glue on the back. It does a good job securing the LED and serves as a strain-relief for the LED leads where they enter the LED body. |

Next question.... you also pointed to another build that only uses a button and a secondary solenoid which I'm guessing you have to hold the button to keep it engaged? While I do like your design better, are these doing the exact same thing? Yours stays engaged until you let off the pedal and the other is only engaged while the button is depressed. Just weird that 1 setup doesn't require any leds or diodes and the other does? Can you please explain? |

Re: Increasing the speed of a Series Motor
The LEDs are not required, you can use a regular 1N4007 diode instead of the LEDs.
The idea is that You use a momentary ON switch to activate the small relay. Once the relay is activated, You need something to keep it running if You release the momentary ON button. You can use a regular 1N4007 for that purpose (striped end towards the relay coil), or You can use one or more LEDs as I drew so You have a visual indication the relay is latched. It is really an implementation choice, and a single diode would be the easier way to implement. Yes, the entire purpose of the small relay in the design is to self-deactivate when you release the Go pedal. You can just use a push button and keep your finger on it the entire time you want the big solenoid activated and the field weakening activated. I would strongly recommend against using a toggle or latched push button to activate the Solenoid, if You were to accidentally forget it ON, the motor would behave as if it was stalled and quickly burn up with a 700 amp. The reason I posted a link for the 3 amp diode is that I don't know what kind of solenoid You are going to use so that would be a more general option. Just use the Solenoid and a push button to test if you Motor will respond well to the Field Weakening, You can always add the other features later if holding the button becomes inconvenient. I hope this clears things up. |
