Yes it is mine. I hate to do this but I have so many other projects now it looks like it would be years before I would have time to play with this. I see this...
Dear all, Replacing the brushes has been a learning experience for me. These are the things I've learned: High voltage (over 60 volts) DC motors behave in an...
... Arcing usually occurs at higher voltages or weakening the field to much (we had this problem with the TEVan and later specified a higher minimum field...
Well just as the subject says. Where can I get a new controller at? :-( I think the last drive I did was it on that controller. The charger I got from Don...
Yeah, I was kind of thinking those were the general options. Getting a new motor and controller would probably be the best bet at this point (if I had the...
Hi Jared, The offer still stands, send the broken controller here, so I can take a look at it... The business model is making spare parts for older EV's in...
Jared, Can you send a high resolution photo of the section on the motor control card that is burnt? I can probably tell you what happened to the card from a...
Rod, Where are the diodes and resistors placed? Are they on a later version of the card, or is this just something you added? And what about.. (Bill Mitchell?)...
When I go home tonight after work, I will take some high rez pics and post it on the web for you to look at. The MCU according to the documentation that came...
Hi Jim, That would be Bill Reynolds, I have his contact info, but not sure if this number is still good, 540-378-3442. Bill built the test box for the TEVan...
Jared, U11 is fried, it's a comparator, part of the circuit to turn on the main contactor. R152 also has some toasted marks, this is part of the sepex field...
I thought the board may be able to be fixed if it is a 2 layer board. If there are internal layers, most likely you've got problems.  Still, all hope is...
Hey All, I will post some pictures of what we have done to retrofit my backup controller as soon as I can. There has been progress since my last update and it...
Hi All, Well, I spoke too soon. The latest pictures I have of the new controller systems are the initial parts installation. I posted them anyway so those...
Rod or Steve, Is Pin Z-8 (R/W) the gate also? BTW: Thanks for the info! Jim - Glendale, AZ. www.evalbum.com/425 ... from the PZ >plug on the control (14 pin...
PZ-8 - W/R is the gate for the regen IGBT (PZ-9 = W/G is the source) PZ-4 - W/R is the traction IGBT (PZ-3 - Brown is the source) PZ 6 and 7 is the field...
O.K. guys, I have an issue with the motor brush dust. I replaced the brushes, although they seemed to have a bunch of life left in them when compared to the...
Yep, I am going to have to sell the van now. I haven't messed with it in a long time and the wife wants a vehicle that she can use now. The controller logic...
Thanks for the offer Jared, There are a bunch of people around me who would be interested if it came with the nickel iron batteries. Do you have contact...
Yeah I have the name of the original designer of the controller. He said he can repair it for around 150. Just have to send him the logic card not the...
I don't know if he wants his information posted to the group. I got help from someone else in this group to make contact with him. I was just pointing out...
Jared, Just for general information I found the Trojans and US Batteries are too tall and would require lowering of the pods a little more than an inch. Since...
I won't recommend or not recommend to anyone to buy one of these. But, I do know that Group 24 batts (would have to be AGMs) are shorter as well as slightly...
