I was amazed really. 4 people in the car and a boot full of tools! Nothing i tried would stop that motor! Slow it down yes but stop it no chance  and that was with only 36v on the shunt field. It can take 80. |
Jack,
I got a kick out of your video. It reminded me of "tests" I have done.
I'm just glad no one has a camera when I do mine!
I have a question too. I watched several of you videos and I can't
tell if you have a gate drive circuit between the controller board
and your IGBT. Can you elaborate on that a bit?
Great Job!
Mark
