Curtis 1243-4224 24/36V 200A (0-5V) Sx Control
The Curtis 1243-4224 is a second-generation motor speed controller designed for separately excited (SepEx) motors, ensuring a smooth and regenerative driving experience. This 24/36-volt model stands out with its impressive 200-ampere current limit and is compatible with a 0-5 volts throttle input. It's an advanced version of the Curtis Controller, offering enhanced features and performance.
With a nominal voltage range of 24-36 V and a minimum electrical isolation of 500 VAC due to its heatsink, the Curtis 1243-4224 is built for efficiency and safety. Its armature current limit is 200 A for 2 minutes and 80 A for an hour, while the field current limit stands at 25/35 A for 2 minutes and 15/20 A for an hour.
Key specifications include a KSI input voltage of 16.8 V, logic input voltage ranging from less than 1 V to over 7.5 V, and an operating frequency of 16 kHz. This sx control model can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 50°C, with cutback features for both undertemperature and overtemperature conditions.
Physically, the Curtis Controller weighs 1.45 kg, with dimensions of 198 mm in length, 114 mm in width, and 70 mm in depth, and is housed in an IP53-rated package.
