    Amp limiting controller?

    I have a frozen drink machine and for some reason it froze up the other night and stripped the plastic gear that operates the mixing paddle. Is there something that I could buy to put in line with the paddle motor that when it got to a certain amp draw that it would shut the power down to that motor? Thanks Michael

      You would have to know what your amperage is when the product is where you want it then you have to test the resettable fuse what there rating is and when they trip is two different things so it requires some testing

      But I would recommend checking a few things first

      Make sure that your temperature sensor controller or a mechanical thermostat is working correctly if has one

      It could have a refrigerate pressure control you have to know what type of refrigerate was used then take a pressure temperature chart to see what pressure at a given temperature because you could have a bad control or low on refrigerate charge you will need a set of gauges for this test

        A "resettable fuse" usually means a positive temperature coefficient thermistor that is low resistance until a particular current threshold is exceeded, at which point it goes high resistance. After it cools down it returns to low resistance, "resets".

          A motor controller is a power supply, right?
          by cjard
          Hoping someone here will be able to provide a few pointers with this. I've got a motor controller board for a device that moves a caravan. A DC motor on each wheel is supplied with 12v DC or -12V DC depending on whether the remote control is pushed in "forward" or "backward" mode. The control is arranged by having 2 relays per motor that, at rest, are all connected to the negative.. If the motor is to go forwards, then relay 1 activates meaning the motor sees "positive negative" on its terminals 1 and 2. If the motor is to go backwards then relay 2 activates meaning...

          ASUS ROG Strix- G513IH-HN008, G513-6050A3249301- MB-A04 (A4) damaged Embedded Controller
          by master3112
          I have an ASUS ROG Strix- G513IH-HN008, motherboard G513-6050A3249301- MB-A04 (A4)

          When I received the device, the device has no function. After an investigation, I found that the PWM CONTROLLER RT6575B (U6100) is getting warm and there is a short circuit at the 3V3 output. This normally supplies 3V3 for the embedded controller IT5571E-128 (U301). When measuring and analyzing with a thermal imaging camera, I found that some components are damaged: SLG4E42553VTR (U8500), IT5571E-128 (U301), LAN RTL8111H (U450), LOGIC 74LVC1G08GW (U1900), RT6575B (U6100) All these components are on...

          DMHC DC Motor Controller for Electric Quad
          by Bloopeta
          Hi, I was given a Funbikes 96 36v 800w Electric Quad.
          Problem is the guy who had it connected the batteries wrong. It has 3 12v batteries in series, but he connected the 3 batteries in a complete circuit (diagram attached to explain, please excuse my drawing lol) and connected them to the quad, and said the motor controller made a fizzing noise and smoked lol.

          Funbikes no longer stock a replacement controller, and I am unable to locate one online with the part number.

          I opened up the controller, and immediately could see some blown caps, so I have replaced...

          Nescafe Aeroccino, still fails with new Motor (red flashes only once)
          by juergenb
          Hi,

          i am asking for some Help.
          I have one of these Nescafe Aeroccino (Milk Frother) things with a bad motor.
          The Motor didnยดt start anymore and internet is full of users just swapping the motor for a Mabuchi RF-500TB-12560.
          So i got a few of these from Banggood.

          I swapped the motor and now i have a new fault condition.

          In a working Frother you would press the start button, it will light red and work for a few minutes.
          If you press longer it will light blue and just mixup the milk.

          With the new Motor it just starts...

          charnwood w821 mini wood lathe motor problem
          by sbt123
          hi there,im having a look at repairing a wood lathe for my dad,(charnwood w821)the problem is when turning up the variable speed control,the motor starts to stop and start by itself,if i continue to turn up the speed it will trip the mcb in the consumer unit,there is also a slight smell of burning from the speed controll box.,Another strange symptom is the lathe can be unplugged from the mains after switching it off and the motor will spin a couple of times by itself,so far ive put a new speed controll potentiometer on and new motor brushes,ive also tested the motor windings and everything looks...
