Hi there :)

hoping someone can give me some advice. I recently purchased a 48v ac induction motor and 48v 500a controller, potentiometer, control module, cables and lots of wiring, contactors dc/dc converter etc etc.

im hoping to power a Toyota Starlet, it may have enough power but im not sure it will have enough speed. trying to be part of this "dirt cheap EV" movement and prove that you dont need loads of money to own an EV.

I have a whole load of wiring schematics with abbreviations that Im trying to understand.

Im really keen to work out how this all connects up, the guy that sold it to me wired enough up so that the motor runs with the potentiometer and we can adjust the P1 P2 P3 settings with the control module :D. but id like to understand the wiring better in order to use it to its fullest potential in the EV.

my first question is, Im not sure if I have the Traction motor controller or the lift motor controller, theres also no info on the motor, not sure whether its traction or lift... traction I hope...

Controller label 1: "FZ5124A-Crown AC-3 36-48/600 Flash Ampseal"
controller label 2: "access 2 control module" which seems to conflicts with label 1..!?

also is there any document that explains the abbreviations in the wiring schematics? altho I gather manuals arent free.

just hoping someone would be so kind as to help me find a way to get my head around these schematics so that I can work things out.

I havent got the car yet, but ive found a friendly car removal contact, so hoping its only a matter of time! i will call it the Electric Tic-Tac

Cheers
Stephen
