One thing I’ve noticed about the RAVolt is that there are times when pushing on the accelerator does not produce more power. Typically this happens on hills when I really want that extra power. I’m moving along OK, but my ammeter is pulling a low 200 and the voltage is hardly sagging. Normally, I can put my foot down and get some extra “go.” It’s common for me to burst over 400 amps going up a hill.
It turns out that my Curtis controller’s current limiter is on the OUTPUT side of the controller while my ammeter is on the INPUT side. The PWM (pulse width modulation) going on inside the black box does not always translate directly back into readings on my analog gauges.
I knew that the Curtis had a current limit - I’m just surprised how it shows up.
