I'm talking TO-220 based, mainly Lyen/Keywin/Hua Tong etc. I say this because I know Arlo1 might pop in here and say 350A so I figured I'd beat him to it
If you could list your sustained during acceleration battery current (and your set phase amps) which will be close to your peak and if the controller lived I'd like to know. I'd also like to know if the controller got hot while doing it. I am asking because I'm playing around with an EB318 controller I built up using match IRFB4110's on my 18.6kV hub motor and it's working much better than I thought it would. It's barely getting warm and I'm beating on it and am always in PWM since I have the PWM set to a max of 99%.
Right now I'm at 126A peak and sustain around 115A from 0 to 40+ MPH before it drops down to around 85A at just over 50mph. Phase amps are programmed to 170A. My controller is slightly warm externally, probably around 80F on the case. I did not bother to put a temp sensor on the FETs as I have on my other controllers when I built this one because it was a blown up board I got for dirt cheap and fixed not knowing if it was going to actually work. I am running 18S LiPo with a fully charged voltage of 74V. I have modded the controller the same way I build all my controllers. Matched FETs, individual bergquist silpad insulators, sanded the heat sink bar on both sides and applied thermal paste between the case and the bar. I also made sure the bar is completely flush with the case when tightening up the screws.
Thanks for participating.
