Control of electric motor with contactor When a relay is used to switch a large amount of electrical power through its contacts, it is designated by a special name: contactor. Contactors typically have multiple contacts, and those contacts are usually (but not always) normally-open, so that ...
An interim solution was to reprogram the regulator for a lower acceptance voltage and a field threshold of 75%. This allowed us to motor for long distances without frying the batteries, and thus preserving the capacity we had left until we could replace the bank. However, at anchor, we coul...
