DC Motor - Fuse or Breaker, Size, and placement?
I am building an electric Go Cart.
The motor is a 36 Volt 80 Amp motor. The 36-48 Curtis 225 Amp controller is from a Golf Cart. I understand that I should place a fuse/breaker at the battery before th controller, and another from the controller to the motor. An on/off switch to the pot. throttle. 1 Fuse or DC breaker? 2 What size? Thanks BoyntonStu |

Something around 80A should do the trick, if that blows go up a bit higher but don't exceed what the controller or wiring can handle. Car stereo shops should have something suitable. |
