    LR Big Block - how hot is too hot?

    Amberwolf, Thank you for your help. It took several rounds of experimenting and testing, but I think I may have my heat issue under control. I used my Kline clamp on amp meter and tried various combinations of motor wires looking for the one with the least draw and tried different settings...

    Kelly KEB auto_identify - How do I know it was successful? ?

    The controller worked straight out of the box. I bought the Kelly KEB testing control box. During simple bench testing I never hooked up the computer and software because it just worked. I didn't check settings until I started field testing under heavy load and the Blue, Green, Yellow motor...

    Kelly KEB auto_identify - How do I know it was successful? ?

    Thank you for your reply. All help is appreciated. I maybe looking at the wrong thing then. The software says KBL/KEB in the corner and on the forth screen I found an auto_identify under the smooth settings, but maybe it is just for the smooth. It does do the twitch thing with the motor...

    LR Big Block - how hot is too hot?

    Thank you that is helpful. I have the 232 connector for the controller, I just didn't try to hook it up yet. The bit about no load current draw is good to know. I can try that out right away. I'll look for the other threads about Kelly controller tuning. Thank you.

    Kelly Controller power ratings

    Mine was the original post, and I realized that I read it and didn't respond. Thanks for the information very helpful. It was good to see that the Kelly can deliver a considerable burst. My take, you cannot compare amperage rating between a Kelly controller and most other controllers because...

    Kelly Controller power ratings
