Feature
When the speed control is released to the neutral position or when the travel direc-
tion changes, the motor brake is automatically applied.
Benet
This makes truck travel more gentle and reduces brake plate wear.
Feature
During normal truck travel when the motor is used to brake the truck, energy is
regenerated and returned to the battery every time the truck brakes. By converting
kinetic energy this way, the motor is basically used as a generator.
Benet
Regeneration of kinetic energy makes the truck more energy efcient.
Motor and power pack
The LWE trucks feature BT Powerdrive and use AC drive motors and DC pump
motors. The reason for using a DC motor for pump operation is primarily to enable
use of a less complicated motor controller compared with an AC motor.
Motor controllers
Two different motor controllers are used on the LWE trucks: 165 A and 220 A versions.
The LWE200 with platform option and LWE250 use a motor controller rated at
220A, while the other LWE trucks use a motor controller rated at 165 A.
Feature
Motor controllers with IP 65 classication.
Benet
The high IP classication of the motor controllers
means they are well protected against water and
dust penetration.
