Ok. Here's the scenario. Motor got hot and the smoke escaped. Sent motor out for repair. Get motor reinstalled and car runs in correct direction and at correct speeds (50fpm car). Motor data tag says FLA 17.6. In high speed we are getting 40A. In low speed we are getting 30A. All contactors are good, all resistors are good, all wiring is new from controller to motor and wired correctly. We bypass the controller and wire motor directly to our 240V source and high speed is 10A both directions, and low speed draws 50A! Both directions. Power source is a confirmed 240V on all three legs. Motor gets hot. We have never blown a fuse or popped an overload. (we don't run it long). Pulled motor again, and this time pulled the worm shaft (14AT machine) so the motor shop can assemble and actually run it this time. Any theories and/or ideas?
