Digital Controller

24v 140amp (boost) 120amp continous

The 24v i140 from PGDT is a robust commercial controller.

  • Regenerative Braking
  • Supply Voltage: 24Vdc (36v dc optional extra)
  • Operating Voltage: 16-30Vdc
  • PWM Frequency: 20kHz ± 1%
  • Output Current: 140A (short period 120A continous)
  • Power Connections: M6 screw terminals (bolts supplied)
  • Control Connector: 14-way Molex Mini-Fit, Jr (supplied)
  • Moisture Resistance: Electronics to IPx5
  • Operating Temperature: -25°C to +50°C

 

One of the features we have set is a switched operated speed govenor. At a flick of the switch top speed is limited to 50%. The speed control potentiometer is recalibrated for 0-50% speed control so there is no dead spot. On our Hercules this represents a top speed of around 6mph. Ideal for younger or less experienced drivers.

We have fitted these to an 8 motor 7 1/4" loco, 4 motor Hercules and a Maxitrak 2 motor F7. All locos drive well and gave very effective regenerative braking. The 7 1/4" gauge loco produced nearly 100amps on full braking.

Trucharge display module provides accurate battery status indication, and displays useful diagnostic information when a problem occurs anywhere on the electrical system.

Dashboard Package

  • iDrive 140A unit
  • Molex connector kit
  • Truecharge meter and cables
  • 4k7 linear potentiometer
  • 1m multicore wire
  • 3x toggle switches (reverse, power & speed limit)
 

Pre wire fly leads and hand controllers
  • Hand controller with deadmans button on flexi coil wire
  • 8 pin plug
  • 8 pin socket pre wired
  • Two chassis mount switches - speed govenor (50%) & ignition switch
  • Truecharge meter

We have opted for solid 8 pin plugs and sockets. You will not squash these and short out wires which can happen with din plugs. There are three spare pins which can be used for horn control. Flexi coil wire only has 5 wires so we would have to supply a multicore flex.
