You could measure the voltage drop across the connection. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device ------ Original message------ From: Chris Zach Date: Wed, Feb 20, 2019 5:23 PM To: Elec-trak list; Cc: Subject:(ET) Stalled my snowblower Well this was a first. While blowing about 6 inches of soupy wet snow up my driveway I noticed the tractor slowing down, then the auger *stalling*. That's new, granted it's a lot of power but still quite unusual. Voltage meter was at the floor, so I stopped, backed down, cleared the chute of sludge, and checked the tractor.Sure enough the wire going to the disconnect (new style) was *hot* indicating a loose connection. Great, another thing to fix. For the moment I wiggled it enough to get the driveway done, then on the way down used the blower as a plow and abandoned the tractor at the bottom of the driveway.Supposed to rain tonight, so it will melt in a day. Next project is remove disconnect, clean with wire brushes and the like and re-install.Is there a way I can build a test load that would dump about 200a@30 volts to load test the packs and find any more weak connections/interconnects/bad cells?C_______________________________________________Elec-trak mailing listElec-trak cosmos phy.tufts.eduhttps://cosmos.phy.tufts.edu/mailman/listinfo/elec-trak |
