Subject: (ET) ELEC-TRAK in the UK
I have recently found and purchased an E12 here
in the UK., it is the only one I have heard of in the UK
Questions
1 Has anyone any idea if elec-tracs were
officialy imported into the UK and if so how many and what models and who were
the dealers?
2 How were the ratings arived at ? 36 x 50 =
1800Watts
1800/746 = 2.4HP at 100% efficiency at a
more likley 80% efficiency =1.9 hp or am I missing something?
3 Is the transmission the same between the
various models E12, E15 and E20 and how strong are they? I would like to
update the motor to a modern highefficincy permant magnet motor and PWM
controller but how much power can the transmission take?
4 The pevious owner rather unfortunatly scrapped
the cutter deck (and was just about to scrap the Elec-trac if I had
accidentaly stumbled on it) What was the rating and speed of the motors on the
cutting deck, I assume they were permant magnet motors? Any other info on
cutter deck would be apreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
