DC motor controller for crane
« on: April 11, 2022, 08:23:32 PM »
Shop Crane fix

My crane drive motor has been giving me fits for last few months.   i have determined something in the motor controller doesnt like cold.  verified that 5min of my heat gun on the side of it makes it work again.


its a 120v AC input, 10amp 0-100V DC motor controller with 9.3amps full load. 

Looking for a replacement controller. 

Almost exactly what i need, but long over seas shipping- and i would need to add a DPDT center off for reversing switch.

this might work, not sure if there is a pot to limit voltage to 100 from 136?

just got an amazon delivery of an empty amazon bag that was open.  they used another package placed on top of it so it wouldnt blow away.


really?!

no option for replacement with out returning something
chat hangs up on you
phone call is just automated chat questions
no useful options on line.

not sure what to do.
