motor controller cut off voltage

Posted by on February 8, 2023 Comments Off on motor controller cut off voltage

Each motor controller has min cut off voltage and max working voltage.

For example:
48v Controller’s cut off at 40v. Less than 40v, not work.
36v Controller’s cut off at 30v. Less than 30v, not work.

For 48v electric bike motor kit system.We recommend reach set cut off voltage to over 42v by LCD. Less than 42v,should charge battery. It’s good for battery.

These days,all kinds of lithium batteries was made by 13 series connection or 14 series connection cells to be 48v, 52v.

Each cell – min about 2.8v , max about 4.2v
13 series – 4.2v x 13 = 54.6v
14 series – 4.2v x 14 = 58.8v

Overdischarge and overcharge both Not good for battery.
For example: if set it to 40v (controller’s cut off voltage is 40v)

2.8 x 14 = 39.2v (about 40v)

If 14 series connection cells ‘s min voltage to be 2.8v at the same time. That’s good.

But ride half a year, cut off voltage still 40v.
If No. one cell ‘s min voltage is 2.7v, second is 2.9v, third cell is 2.9v….
Total voltage is 40.4v ( 2.9 x 13 + 2.7v)

If first cell’s voltage to be 2.7v, it’s overdischarge, battery can’t to be charged. Battery is broken.
So we recommend charge battery when it reach about 42v or over.

If min 42v
No. one cell ‘s min voltage is 2.9v, second is 3.0v, third cell is 3.0v….
Total voltage is 41.9 v ( 3.0 x 13 + 2.9v)

New battery doesn’t have this issue. If ride 1-2 month, we recommend charge battery @ 42v or over.

For example: cell phone, only leave 20%,need to charge. If use out all that will break cells, also very hard to charge.

So we recommend set cut off voltage by LCD that over controller’s cut off voltage.

Why choose leaf motor controller

Posted by on February 6, 2023 Comments Off on Why choose leaf motor controller

Three years ago, leaf motor started to design controllers,manufacture controllers,test controllers,modify and re-test. Day by day. three years past,compare with other controllers,leaf three mode controllers are the best.

In market,there are square wave, sine wave, two kinds of brushless controllers that drive brushless with hall sensor motor.Every one knows,hall sensor is electronic component.It works in the rotating rotor.It’s easy to be broken.

If one hall sensor is broken, the electric bike can’t work. Need to replace hall, but it’s very hard to replace hall.Not easy. Replace the whole of winding rotor, it’s too expensive.

In past,leaf sell KT controller,met hall sensor issue, should replace the whole of winding rotor to customer.

The price for one hall sensor is less than $1USD
But, the whole of winding rotor over $100USD includes shipping cost.
Replace winding rotor waste too much.

Sine 2019,leaf motor started to manufacture theirselves controllers.
Leaf Brand New electric motor controller with Sine wave, Square wave, No hall, three modes compatible.

What are three modes?
* First mode: Sine Wave Status – Motor without noise,Very quiet ! 
If one of motor hall sensor is broken, controller still can work in Sine Wave Status.

* Second mode: Square wave Status – Motor with a little noise, < 60db, speed is about 8% faster than Sine Wave Status. If two of motor hall sensors are broken, controller can work in Square Wave Status. * Third mode: No hall Status - Motor with a little noise, < 60db, speed is about 8% faster than Sine Wave Status. If all of three hall sensors are broken, controller can work in No hall Status. If your motor's hall sensors are broken, don't need to replace hall sensors. Just use this controller that can recover your motor to work. If you don't know how to match motor wires to controller.  Just plug two blues together, controller into learning status and looking for correct working way. After 1-2 seconds, it can find correct working way,then disconnect these two blue wires' plugs. From now on,it always works with this kind of correct way.   

48V 52V 1000W electric hub motor controller with LCD screen

Posted by on December 7, 2022 Comments Off on 48V 52V 1000W electric hub motor controller with LCD screen

48V 52V 1000W electric hub motor controller runs very well. It gives the performance we hoped for.

Nevertheless, we are struggling connecting the regen brake. I would very much appreciate if you could help us to figure out how those wires are to be connected in order to have the engine giving us regen brake when cruising downhill.

Let me summarize:
I assume the yellow, green and red colors represent the colors of the knobs on the switch for each function right?
We have managed to have cruise and reverse working, but we do now know how to connect the Regen brake to the switch to enjoy electronic brake from the motor.

There are 4 cables from the controller for those 3 functions:
Black
Green
Blue
Yellow

When we connect green cable to blue or black the cruise works.
When we connect yellow cable to blue or black the reverse works.

But how do we have the Regen Brake working?
Can you please what color of the cable is for the regen? (is it blue?) and what other color from those 4 should it be connected with to make it work please? Thank you.
I truly would appreciate your help, we do not need reverse on a bike, but the regen would be very welcome.
Thanks a lot, in advance for your help.

How to use three button switch?
1.We cut off that yellow wire.It’s for reverse/backward.This function is very dangerous for e-bike. If for e-tricycle,hope this reverse function,just re-connect this yellow wire.
(We cut off yellow wire.. so no reverse/backwards function for e-bike. If install motor on tricycle, also need this reverse function,please re-connect this yellow wire. Reverse works)
This yellow button be left / middle,motor works forward. Be right side,motor works backward / reverse… (Cut off blue wire,No reverse function)

2.Green button is used to control cruise, while motor is running,also over some speed,example: over 1/3 max speed,at this time,press green button one time,then loose throttle,LCD display “C”,motor will works the same speed. Re-press this green button one time or press brake lever or turn throttle to max,motor will stop.

3.Red button be up,regen on. Be down,regen off. This regen will charge battery while press brake lever (We cut off red wire..)No recommend use this function.

need bike motor controller replacement

Posted by on February 7, 2022 Comments Off on need bike motor controller replacement

I would like  to know if you sell  the bike motor controller only, because i damage mine by over voltage  and i need to replace it.
Motor and LCD are still good. So please, i just need motor controller at the moment.
 
The photo I’m sending from a copy of a invoice is just to give you full details of address info, the invoice is from other kit , not this.
 
Can you make better price selling without LCD display ?
 
I will buy more parts in future from you for sure. I have new projects in my mind.
 
I already sent i e-mail today asking for the same model but with 60v (if this option is possible), if not possible no problem ,i will need  to have another 48v  controller, and  change to a 48v battery again..
 
Im sorry, I said in last e-mail i had 8 x 12v lead battery, but my mistake,because  in fact they are 10 bat, 12 amps +or- ,and 12 volts each. ( 2 box with 5 batt. each )
 
A lot of weight to carry, but i made already about 350 miles so far without any major problem…not bad homemade electric scooter…spend some money but i love this installation process, its a fine hobby for me. I ride it most of the time inside private property to avoid problems. I don’t go fast, but uphill the controller burn…stupid mistake of mine..i push the controller limits.. many amps and some extra volts burn controller, almost in the end of the project..
 
I’m your costumer for some time and i prefer your controllers because they  are good and have regen break, very useful for me because i live in high place in Portugal, full of up and downhills.  I also prefer the original parts from you because i know they will fit perfect on the Lcd display that i already have
 
If yes , how can i pay you  excepting credit card ?
I can make bank transfer if you like, or another safe method for both.  If i buy only controller i will pay less tax here also, less money in invoice is better for me because last time i payd a lot, also because motors are heavy , but only controller will be good, its lightweight for the post tax. If possible,  don’t mention watt power in invoice please, The hub motor has 1000/1500 watt power.. i cant remember exactly, because sometimes display already  showed 1200, 1300 watt instant motor power  . maybe 1500w motor…not sure..

14″ e-bike stopped and waited for a moment

Posted by on January 15, 2022 Comments Off on 14″ e-bike stopped and waited for a moment

Q:Ride ebike on the flat road,no problem,but when I climb the hill,it will stop and wait for a moment,it still can re-start and have the same problem at once.

A:The temp inside the controller is too high and in order to protect this controller,should wait for a moment until the temp is lower than protective temp.

Solve:Use more MOS-FET brushless controller.

Now our 48V brushless motor controller has 15-MOSFET.More MOSFET afford temp and the temp rise very slow.It can solve this problem.

In market,always use 9-MOSFET to drive 48V 1000W hub motor.This kind of brushless controller is easy to be broken because of high temp will break MOSFET.

36V 750W / 48V 1000W 14″ brushless gearless hub motor is make up of aluminium hub,aluminium cover,magnet,rotor,winding,axis etc.Mounted 14×2 1/4~2 1/2″tyre,load approximate 300lb.Motor speed,we can customize according as your actually need.
It’s used for e-bike,e-scooter.

electric bike kit for e-bike

Posted by on January 15, 2022 Comments Off on electric bike kit for e-bike

Q:I want to buy for my Merida cross 5100:
-Front bike hub motor 48 V/ 1000W
-48V Thumb Throttle
-Battery LEV-High Speed 4812
– wires to throttle and battery.

But I have the questions:
1.I need spokes for 28″ wheel. Are they attached to motor, and how much are they if not?
2. The battery could be fixed only on trunk or on frame too?
3. I`m living in St. Petersburg, Russia. What type of delivery is most economic and how much it will be?

Answer 1:The most economic is that ship by international parcel.It’s much cheaper than EMS.We often use this way to ship packages to Russia.But It takes long time to ship and hard to track the status of package.
About your order,I want to give your some suggestion:
1.This 48V/1000W motor is good.Most of our customers have used this motor more than 3-5 years and never meet problem.
2.Thumb throttle,No problem
3.Li-Battery costs expensive,but its life is short.Though many battery companies called their batteries have high quality,it’s not true.Most of Li-batteries will meet problem in 1 year.For example:your notebook PC’s li battery.
Do you have brushless controller to drive this 28″ hub motor?

Answer 2:spokes may in attachment hub motor
please email to leafmotor:sales@leafmotor.com
You also order electric bike conversion kit on leafmotor’s internet shop.
And DIY your favorable bike kit.

BLDC motor control technology

Posted by on January 7, 2022 Comments Off on BLDC motor control technology

    In 2005, BLDC motor controller was developed, improved and upgraded to address the existing weaknesses in several electric vehicles, vehicle design to meet the consumers and the increasing demand for vehicle performance. It avoids the same maximum rated power output of a long, sustained the same frequency to reduce the impact of the motor, motor coordination and other systems, electric cars and stable work, greatly extending the life of electric vehicles.

    Equipped with a BLDC motor controller for electric vehicles in the cycling process, the inverter controller and inverter composed of high-efficiency motor power system, take advantage of low current, high-torque theory, in the process of riding in a timely manner according to traffic and load to adjust the output power .

    This technology works, the electric car start, climbing, a small motor current, torque, and increases the climbing ability and more power; and on a level road, the standard load driving the motor to a small current, high efficiency work, so fast, low power consumption, extend the continued line mileage.

    Install the BLDC motor system of the electric car as long as a power supply and speed, the car was immediately driven, and demonstrated a remarkable strong force, and unlike most of the electric car start when they “struggle” was a difficult time crawling This is the BLDC motor technology advantage.

    In July 2005, the Group introduced three BLDC motor MACAT electric cars, are very popular. Taiwan Tianjin growth of electric cars with electronic features brushless motor control system — electronic CVT systems, but also uses the same technology. This new motor system increases the motor torque constant, reducing the overload point, the motor phase current context, to effectively improve the speed of the motor rated load point.

    2007 by Locomotive Co., Ltd. Qing long developed similar to the motorcycle gear with three power electric cars is based on such frequency control technology.

    This technology effectively improve the electric vehicle drive system features a certain extent, solve the electric vehicle the problem of poor climbing ability, and easy manipulation of the user, complete electric car downshift speed and overall performance has made great breakthroughs .

Q: We received two parcels. Finally managed to get it all working. the lcd display does not go over 10 mph ? can you think why

A:Do you make you motor “reverse”? If you make the three button switch to be “R”, motor will be reverse, the speed is slow. Make to “L”, motor will be forward.

Q: I have disconnected the three button switch and now seems to be working. the display when the bike is in use does not go above 10 mph. does the display after you have set the mph/kmh mean ? It says p1, p2,p3.p4 and p5. what are the correct settings for these ?

Your bike can reach 40 mph without load,we test it.Even if you ride,still can reach about 35mph.
Please set the wheel size to be “26”
* Power on,turn on LCD,then press “up” and “down” button for 2 second together.
1. Then max speed will flashing. Make it to be max 72kmh.
2. Then “kmh or mph” will flashing.Press “up” or “down” to shift from “kmh” to “mph”.Then press “ON /in the middle of button” to done setting.
3. Then “wheel size,8,10,12,14,16,18,22,24,26,700 or 28” will flashing.Press “up” or “down” to shift.Make it to be “26” Then press “ON /in the middle of button” to done setting.

After setting these 1,2,3. Then press “ON /in the middle of button” for 2 second.It will save these setting.

Try it again.

Don’t set P1,P2,P3..

New LCD advanced manual enclosed.
Please set it as below:

P1: 46
P2: 0
P3: 1
P4: 0
P5: 15

Q:Finally got it all sorted out.The bike conversion kit works really well and is fast and powerful.Thanks.
