A brief description of how this controller is used when making a 1/8
mile run or just accellerating from a stop light.
The runs went like this, turn the key
on and 6V is applied to the motor, press the pedal lightly and 12V is applied to the motor. These batteries are used to get
to the staging lights. Once staged, I hold the brake and the motor is pulling 300 amps while 6V is applied. Once I see the
first yellow light, I press the pedal and apply 12V to the motor, pulling 600 to 800 amps. When I see the last yellow light
before the green light, I floor it and the 12V contactor releases and the 48V contactor pulls and away I go. This is if I
have the Voltage Selector in the 48V mode. As soon as the amps drop back, a couple of seconds, I move the Voltage Selector
to the 72V mode and a little tire squeal is heard and the speed picks up. Then I press the Field Weakening button on the dash
with my finger and the speed picks up more. Then I shift to drive and more acceleration, and then the Field Weakening button
on the dash to the end of the run.
