This is the first power-up bench test of the AC-15 electric motor and Curtis controller that went into my electric bike conversion. It was a lot more powerful than I expected!

That was much louder than I thought it would be.

@1943vermork - it was a lot noisier on the bench than it is in the bike. I think the small space it was in amplified the sound. Now, on the bike, the chain is the loudest component and out in the street, even that is well below the ambient noise level. That version of the video is probably the third time I spun it up. The first time, it did almost go off the bench.

Could I do a bench test on a motor just like this one by applying positive and negative directly from a battery?

@Openroadoutfitters Жыл бұрын

If it's an AC motor, no. This one requires a controller that converts the battery's DC to AC.

I like it. But there 2 things I'm surprised. I still find it noisy for a 3 phases motor. And also nothing holding the motor in place, I guess you went smooth on the acceleration so it does not start flying on the bench.

Could you share a wiring diagram?

@Openroadoutfitters 4 жыл бұрын

I don't have this any longer, but the diagram I had came from somewhere on the Net. I'd recommend you check out the El Moto forum.

Will this controller run ac motor with connecting only nessesary wires? Some controllers ( like danaher controller for ezgo cart) are very sensitive and wont work if any wire is disconnected

@sajjadabdollah 7 ай бұрын

@@samehdarawshi3537yes it does, provided that you do the basic wiring which is enough to power the Curtis controller and other necessary components such as throttle pedal, interlock key and so on. You may look at the wiring diagram of this particular controller to figure the necessary wiring in order to run a bench test.

No, I don't sorry. I went in with a group of people who have the Curtis controller and bought a share of the handheld programmer, so I just use that when I need it.

Thanks for contacting me. My electric bike is home in the garage and I am 1300 miles away for a few weeks. I would recommend that you visit elmoto [dot] net which is a community of electric motorcycle builders. There are people on that forum who are far more familiar with the AC-15 and can help you faster.
