Re: problem with speed controller
Do you have the supply hooked to V+ and V- and the motor hooked to M+ and M-

V+ should go to circuit breaker panel (30 amp possibly 20)
V- should go to ground

My guess you have something hooked up backwards and shorting out because the Victor 884 will shut itself off before serious happens or your 30 amp is bad and keeps tripping and resetting itself (you should be able to hear the clicking if that is it)
