| Quote: | I am building an electric Go Cart.
The motor is a 36 Volt 80 Amp motor.
The 36-48 Curtis 225 Amp controller is from a Golf Cart.
I understand that I should place a fuse/breaker at the battery before
th controller, and another from the controller to the motor. An on/off
switch to the pot. throttle.
1> Fuse or DC breaker?
2> What size?

Something around 80A should do the trick, if that blows go up a bit higher
but don't exceed what the controller or wiring can handle. Car stereo shops
should have something suitable. |
