i have verified that the control card is good i have also replaced wiring for the SCR's to the control card because of flaky wiring. Problem still occuring intermittenly. The system is a SCR controlled system and has no contactors. I tested the voltage going into and out of SCR #1 When the system is working properly Scr has Battery voltage that drops to 46V and the same going out to the motor when the system is acting up i get 46V into the SCR and 40V to the motor. My question is are there any other components other than the control card that control SCR #1 or should i be looking at replacing it. Are these SCR's known to break down intermittently.

thanks
Dave

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
