Re: Jaguar Output Question

Mr. B,
The output voltage changes? That is to say the motor output waveform moves from a 12 volt peak to peak waveform to something less (8-10 volts)? Sounds like it could be a FET failure. The Jag manual talks about the current fault in terms of .2 sec of 100+ amps and 2 sec of 60+ amps but it does not speak to limiting current.
