S2 motor cable overheating
Hi,
I have been working on a 1992 club car 36V resistor coil cart. It has a high speed motor (brand unknown). I upgraded all of the motor/v-glide/forward reverse switch cables to 6 gauge. I also put in a new v-glide, solenoid and forward/reverse switch assembly. The cable running from the S2 motor terminal to battery 6 neg. gets dangerously hot. You can even smell it while driving the cart. This is at full throttle, which I thought should dissipate the heat. I also have my reducer connected to the same battery terminal along with the fuse wire. I believe this all to be correct set-up? Is it that the upgraded motor is too much for a resistor coil set-up, and I need to convert to a controller? Or could it be as simple as switching out to a 4 gauge cable? Thank You for any suggestions. |

Re: S2 motor cable overheating
Fuse on bottom, reducer in middle, motor cable on top.
Saw where you were going with that question. Changed order to largest to smallest terminal connections beginning with the motor/battery cable on the bottom. Works perfect now. Thank You! Last edited by CV4Golf; 12-19-2018 at 07:44 PM.. Reason: Issue Resolved |

Re: S2 motor cable overheating
Yeah the way you had them before with the smaller wires between the battery and motor cable was creating a smaller contact area which equals more resistance.
