Last weekend i blew up my modified controller. . first i drove to work and back...which is aprox. 110km
I used full speed and used about 40 Ah at 88V average. Then in the evening i had a party somewhere 10km further in town.
I drove full throttle and then...it stopped....i thought the circuit breaker was down so i clicked it on...BANG ! ZAPP !
Wow!...what the F..%# ?? Then i felt the Hub motor..it was cold...nothing...then i put my hand on the controller...Wooowwww
You could fry an egg on it !!
I never checked my temperature on my controller..not even when i first started to drove to work with it.
Back home i opened up the controller and saw the defective components. 5 pieces (which you couldn't see) o IRF4110 where shorted and two large caps 1000uF/100V went down. one 100n capacitor also was burned down. These were 63V types !! didn't see that coming...i allready drove 500km withit on 95V..
Now my next question is...I want to extend the FET's on the outside case with an external cooling plate which is cooled by extra cpu fans.
Did you allready build some kind of cooling system on your controller ? I could need some advice howto get the best cooling for my 12 FET's
