Re: SDU: No udc voltage

You should see the voltage change across the resistor at start of precharge and at the end as the capacitors charge up. Should be a high voltage across it at the initial start of precharge which reasonably quickly drops to a few volts after a second or two. As another test put a load across the inve...

Re: SDU: No udc voltage

Ok Lood. 50 ohm is fine. I am hoping you can monitor the udc voltage before the precharge drops out. Good luck.

Re: SDU: No udc voltage

Hi Lood. Try lowering udcsw to say 160v and see if the precharge drops out again at 5 secs. I would also be monitoring the dc readout on the parameters to see if the dc voltage rises during the 5 secs. Whats your precharge resistance value? Need that info first :-) Pete

Re: Help trying to get my LDU to spin for the first time

Hi spiff. If all your connections etc are ok as per Damiens video then you could try increasing Boost. When I first started I could not get my motor to run with a low voltage source, increasing Boost solved that but its only a suggestion ok. I guess you have direction fwd or rev enabled ?

Hi FFMan. Try Adrian Flux for a quote too.

Re: SDU parameter tuning - major failure - can't select drive gear

Hi Pete9008. Tripmode is the best solution agreed. But as a second line of defence my aim is to catch a spike voltage before it gets over 600v and kills the SDU power stage. I tried with just varistors before and as the spike voltage increased above the varistor continuous DC voltage the varistors w...

Re: SDU parameter tuning - major failure - can't select drive gear

Hi Peakon28. Suggest a high power Varistor in series with a resistor. My max pack voltage is 330v so in my case the Varistor must be able to handle 330v DC continuous without problems. The Varistor will start conducting above that value and I am doing some tests again with it. The type I have has a ...
