Hello friends,

Yesterday, I measured the resistance (at pins 2 and 3) on the flow control valve, and it was 6 ohms.

With a 10-cent adjustment and an approximate resistance of 800 ohms, the total resistance will be 5.955 ohms.

With a resistance of 700 ohms, the total resistance is 5.949 ohms.

Given that a resistance of approximately 800 ohms results in a power increase of roughly +/- 20% (a few more or less), how can this power increase of only '0.05 ohms' be achieved?

And if I want to limit the motor's power, do I just need a resistor of approximately 0.1 ohms connected in series (to pin 2 or 3) to achieve that, or what?
The power reduction should also be around 20%, so from 90 horsepower to approximately 70 horsepower, right?

Best regards,

Hi Tim,

Even though it's already mentioned in the RWG technical article:
The EDC does not measure the DC resistance of the sensor, but rather the AC voltage impedance. And this value is much higher than the stated 6 ohms, so that this measurement is also significantly distorted by parallel resistors up to approximately 1 kOhm.

Reading beforehand makes you smarter and saves time icon_cool.gif icon_razz.gif.
The offer here is quite good; you just have to take advantage of it. icon_idea.gif
