12.8.2 Transistor regulator
General
The ZAPI SEM-X transistor regulator drives the traction motor. It con-
trols the speed by varying the rotor voltage using pulse width modula-
tion (PWM). This also includes varying the “ON” time of the MOS tran-
sistors used to regulate rotor current.
Changing the truck’s travel direction is achieved by reversing the polar-
ity in the field winding (F1-F2). The regulator features a transistorised 
four-quadrant bridge and a single-quadrant bridge for the rotor winding.
A status LED (Fig. 10 AL) displays eventual error conditions which may 
be present.
Fig. 10 B shows the connector for the hand terminal.
NOTE!
In order to see the alarm status LED or gain access to the connector 
for the hand terminal it is necessary to fold out the main electrical 
panel. 
See section “12.4 Accessing main electrical panel”  .
Safety
The regulator is a high-power component. When working on a battery 
operated vehicle, necessary precautions should be taken. This 
includes, but is not limited to, correct training, use of eye protectors, 
avoiding use of lose-fitting clothes, removal of watches and jewellery, 
and use of insulated tools only.
WARNING!
Risk of short-circuiting.
Remove all watches, jewellery and always use insulated tools only.
