I to am in the process of converting my E-20 to an electronic controller.
I
am using a Curtis pulse width modulated controller. I have been working
on
it (off and on) over the past two years and am about 90% done. I hope tp
finish it over spring break in early April in time for the mowing season.
I
am using the Curtis on the armature side and am reversing the field
current.
I have some experience with converting electric vehicles but don't have
alot
of knowledge of compound motors yet. I have been creating a crude
handwritten
electrical wiring diagram of the conversion as I go and would be happy to
share it once I determine if it works. I am sure that there must be people
out there who have done this conversion already. I would like to know if
indeed it worked and any pitfalls to watch out for and suggestions. Thank
you.
