Hot motor cable on G Wiz AC controller
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 3:04 pm
Hi chaps
Firstly, apologies if this post is in the wrong section.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what is wrong? I have a working G Wiz with the AC controller but one of the 3 power cables to the motor gets incredibly hot and has melted its insulation at the controller end. It creates a bad smell whilst driving!
I've measured the resistance of the cable, on my multimeter at 0.04 ohms, I don't think the cable is to blame as the other 2 (which have not melted) measure the same but perhaps I'm wrong and should change it? My initial thought was that the cable must have unusually high resistance, therefore causing the heat.... Perhaps it's the controller itself that is faulty?
Bit stuck.... any good clues from experience would be massively appreciated!
