Hi all,
I'm planning on buying a motor that suggests it should be run with a 250/300A VESC, the motor has a max current of 200A.
In reality I don't plan on running the motor near this current, and will be much closer to a continuous operation of about 50A occasionally spiking to 100A.
The VESC I currently have is the new 75V with 60A continuous capabilities and 120A instantaneous, will I still be good to use this VESC with my motor, as long as I have the current limits set appropriately, or am I missing something?
Appreciate any help,
Ali.
The max possible currents are limited in FW, so you can't exceed them unless you load the NO LIMITS firmware.
Probably it is better to use a bigger unit, for example the 75/300. It also depends a lot on ambient temperature.
You can try out theVESC 6 /75 if the power output is good enough and if you can attach the device to a heat sink or lager thermal structure.
Great thanks a lot Frank appreciate the help, will give it a go with the new vesc 6 75 and see how it goes!
