Re: learn as you go Today I learned that not only does too much current blow a fuse, but it will also melt a switch. Yes I hit the power on the 24v motor before I pedaled it up to speed and it blew a fuse. It also melted the household switch I was using. Which caused me quite a bit o grief. I bought three of those switches and all three have melted. Other switches don't do that but this three did. I wonder if they are dangerous in the walls of a house.
Because I am having fuses go left and right with this big motor and fast wheel combo I have decided to finally go to a controller. I'll let you know how that works out. |
