We supply a small panel which mounts inside your loco and mounts the AccuCharge display and the two switches for the speed limiting and free-wheel facility. If you wish to push or tow your loco you can do so without the re-generated current affecting the controller. The free-wheel switch turns off the system and isolates the controller. This is a great safety feature, particularly for novice drivers, or a railway where a reduced running speed is required. The speed limiting switch reduces top speed to 50% whilst leaving the travel on the throttle and the available torque the same as full speed. The AccuCharge LED display will let you know the state of charge in your batteries and if you have a wiring fault it will indicate which area needs to be checked. The iDrive is an industrial standard motor speed controller which can be configured specifically for use in battery electric locomotives. Rated at 200amps the unit is equally at home powering the 2 750w motors we fit in our larger locos and also in our 5” gauge Project Loco which is fitted with two 150w DC motors. The iDrive motor speed controller is the digital control system we fit in all our locos.
