Shwarzmuller GmbH AC Motor Controller
Model# dACi-TA48/300 KA

any insights anybody mite have or a link for a wiring diagram would help a lot.
I'll take pictures of the insides when I get it for all to see
Good buy!

I found this link - looks like a useful wiring diagram, some application notes

300A at 48 VDC gives you about 20 HP if you can find a motor that is rated between 150A - 175A at 30 - 35 VAC. That's a pretty weird voltage.

The current is too high for a typical induction motor. This is the best I could find ... 50 HP, 200V, 150A full load. The voltage is way low, it will take the maximum current, but is very heavy.

Perhaps you could use a 48VDC motor and use the controller as a way to vary the output voltage, through a set of diodes.
