I'm hoping to look at an electric car that needs a speed controller, it also has a Warp 11 motor, so a 500 amp speed controller is really being stressed under peek loads.
So my question is, how would the controller react if it was bypassed while under full load like that? and would it need to be cut out and excluded from powering the car or could it just have a contractor put in parallel?
