I take your "re soldering" word into consideration and finally I manage to get MP WORKING !!! Excellent. But I did some small modification in resizing the gap between alu plate and controller for another 0.2mm that Mosfets can have more space between heating side and mounting. I also find that mosfet pins are so damn close to ALU plate that if they move a micron there could be a short... MonkeyMagic thanks for you help . In this position I would like to recommend http://www.farnell.com/ company which and I'm not kidding send me 6 Mosfets from UK to Slovenia in less then 24 hours from order to my doorsteps (guys you are great).
I was not kidding when I wrote that, I had a
massive inkering as the same thing happened to me also!!!
I'm glad you got it going, boy would your smile have been big once you didn't hear any beeps! I bet you disconnected, and reconnected the power just to make sure
You are right about the replacement, I think I forgot to tell you but what I did was cut all of the mosfet legs and then I cut my new Mosfet legs in half, then soldered them 'right angled' to avoid me having to bend them, reposition etc. and that worked trumps.
You can cut some very small pieces off excess heatproof tape that covers the mosfets before binding on the plate to protect the close pins. There is nowhere near enough current or voltage to arc so even if they are microns apart as long as its solid it will be fine
Have a look on the underside of the PCB and look at where all the solder builds up and nearly touches on the cut component legs protruding from the other side - all of it looked dangerous / easy to short when I was in there!!!
Also - I put a piece of canvas tape underneath my 3 phase wires going to the PCB to eliminate them ever shorting on the GND bus line underneath them.
I am very pleased to hear you are back on the road!!!
Now, just use regen sparingly (never holding down constant down a hill, or consecutively after using throttle and it will last you ages. Also just go easy on take off to avoid heat build up, and not to try and use it with a low battery uphill cutting it in and out
Good work mate
