Curtis Controllers Model 1238E

The SE Series of Curtis controllers are Permanent Magnet AC (PMAC) and AC induction motor controllers. All controllers from the Curtis E and SE Series control the speed and torque of three-phase AC motors that are usually used in vehicles with hydraulic pump motors and electric traction with a nominal battery supply ranging from 24 to 96 volts. The difference among similar controllers is that it has the biggest and heaviest design compared to others.


Compared to other AC controllers from Curtis, the E and SE models like the 1238E use new and state-of-the-art technology to raise the peak current rating. Programmable control, a flexible controller for torque and speed, a CANbus that can be configured, twin traction motor control, and a capable controller for the whole system are the exclusive features of AC controllers from Curtis Instruments. The controller also allows silent operation, lower heat loss, and manageable torque ripple making it a very efficient model in the industry.


The Curtis 1238E controllers can now be purchased here in Cloud Electric, your one-stop shop for all your electric component needs. Cloud Electric is a leading distributor of electronic components in North America. We take pride in our informative product descriptions, pricing, and shipping speed.
