Can a 48V be upgraded to 72V without changing the motor?
1 Answers
No, if the original battery of an electric vehicle is 48V, adding two more batteries to make it 72V will definitely require replacing the controller and the motor. Without changing the controller, it won't function, and if the motor isn't replaced, the coils will burn out. 1. If the "motor is not replaced" and remains at 48V, under 72V, the load current will surge due to overvoltage, and the excessive current will burn out the controller. At the same time, the 48V motor will also be damaged by the overvoltage. 2. The "rated operating voltage" of the motor is crucial and is a necessary condition for the safe operation of the motor. For example, the rated operating voltage of a household air conditioner is 220V, and arbitrarily increasing the voltage is clearly unwise.
