Re: Current Sensors

I have posted the schematic as a jpg here...http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/29322

Dave's post above reminded me that the FP motor design changed that year. No info was given on the change but it was a significant difference from prior years.
2001 FP
Motor no-load speed 15,000 RPM
Motor stall current 57 A
Motor stall torque 0.363 N-m

As I remember the stall current on the new motor was 94 amps and free speed near 20000 RPM.

The specs I have for 2005 are
647mNm
148 stall amps
24000 RPM

The design for that year as Dave pointed out was two drill and two FP. The effect was the FP was doing all the work and dragging the drill motors along for the ride. Consequently, FP current was through the roof and drill current was next to nothing.
