How does Digital Maximizer compare to a speed coil?
How Speed Coil Motors Work • Electrical loads are hooked up in series with the motor so that power from the battery is split between supplying the motor and supplying the additional loads (speed coils). • Power from the battery is fairly constant regardless of the speed setting. Therefore, on speed 1 for example, more power is diverted to the speed coil than is supplied to the motor. This makes the overall motor assembly less efficient (vs. variable speed/Digital Maximizer). • Extra power consumed by the speed coil produces heat, much like an electrical heating element. The heat is then transferred through the motor housing to the water. • That is why speed coils are located in the lower motor unit. • Soft StartA feature of the Digital Maximizer, it limits how fast the motor can go from “off” to “on.
