Aye its a possibility John :thumbup: I am just used to the wiring on Zapi,Curtis and Sevcon type PWM controllers :palm: Personally I would hook up the motor direct to the PWM unit bypassing the relays and see if there was then any motor control. If there was motor control then that would rule out a faulty PWM controller . Then the fault has to be in the relay wiring . :zap: Rob |

And what are you whittling ? a fan maybe :poke: I have a choice tonight make a curry or fit my new DRO to mill mmmmmmmmmm. Just as a side note if there is anyone in the North of England that is in need of an electric vehicle tweaked / faults read , (FLT, access equipment , tow tractor, golf buggy ) drop me a PM Just a few of the handheld programmers for electric vehicles I own and work with daily .

Thanks again for all your help. The PWM is just a generic brand from China, similar to the one in the picture below. I tested it by directly hooking it up to the motor and it works just fine. Like I mentioned, I also tried a second PWM in the first circuit diagram. Both failed to regulate the speed the way I had it wired. I'm guessing that the battery voltage was overriding the modulated voltage. I'm going to rewire it using the newly supplied diagrams and I'll let you know how it turns out. . |
