Reply to "ERR Cruise Commander mosfets and bridge rectifier get hot"

As an aside, what transformer are you using?  If it's a ZW, you are drawing some serious current to cause it to trip.  I don't think your replacement FET's would last long in that environment.  With the board removed, you could (on a test stand/condition) measure the current your motor draws with varying voltage hooked up to it.  Never having measured one on the newer DC "can" motors MTH used, I would still venture a guess that your motor should draw about 3 amperes at full throttle, and corresponding less at lower voltages.  So whatever you measured at full throttle, is the worst case load you should experience with a working ERR Cruise Commander.  Actually, the load with the CC at full throttle should measure a slight amount less than the directly hooked up motor.  Not a lot less, just a little.  There is negligible current loss due to the FET's.
