Speed Controller of an Electric Golf Cart
An electric golf cart comes with a different
speed control system that is different from the gas engine which needs fuel to
work. The cart has a motor circuit. The electric resistance is used to produce
a voltage drop with the circuit. This thing basically consumes the electric
energy and you can control the golf cart’s motor’s speed. This whole thing is
known as a speed controller.
How
does a Speed Controller work?
The golf cart's speed controller
sends its current and battery voltage to
its motor. This entire process depends on your golf cart's input device, which
includes its throttle. That's how the golf cart's speed controller allows you
to operate its acceleration rate, as well as its deceleration rate.
Speed Controller's Functions
In addition to controlling the
cart’s speed, there are a few other functions that speed controllers can offer.
- Limit the current to the motor to protect both
engine and controller in case of overloading.
- Determine the battery current so that battery is
protected from excessive discharging.
- Monitor battery health and charge.
- Protect the controller from overheating.
- Manage how fast the cart accelerates when full
throttle is applied quickly
Golf Cart Speed Controller Replacement
If you have determined that the
speed controller is at fault, you may have to get a replacement. Make sure you
get one of the same or compatible controllers for your make and model electric
golf cart.
Before beginning to remove and
reinstall the new controller, be sure to disconnect all power from the
batteries. Next, make a note of which wire goes where and most importantly,
don’t allow one of them to touch and short out. Even if the power is
disconnected (or you think it is) it is too expensive of a mistake to
accidentally burn the new unit out.
Hand tighten all connections and
terminals and do not over-tighten because stripped out screws are no fun. After
you are certain all connections a correct and secure, reconnect the power and
road test your golf cart.
