Max Switching Frequency FOC

Hi,

I see the maximum Switching Frequency I can set is 150k, but can it really work at that frequency the driver?

My goal is to run at 68k, can I test it without problem? I'm using a relatively small motor (max 15A @24V) for multicopters.

If I remember correctly the software will freeze after about 45KHz and you have to reflash with stlink to fix it.

Thanks for the answer.

What about VESC 6?

PS: if that option bricks the VESC why isn't it limited to 40k? Maybe a TODO feature ;)

That was on VESC 6 I think. Not tried it in a while.

VESC 4.12 are safe up to 60k ERPM.

VESC 6 are safe up to 150k IIRC.

@Pimousse: I'm talking about PWM switching frequency, not ERPM.

TechAUmNu,  good day!

Could you said which firmware I  need to use for hw 4.10-4.12 to get erpm >40000 on FOC? (my ebike (13s) with another chinese ebikes-controller have ~48000 erpm in bldc mode and with "field correctoon" - "120%")

 (I do not know how to create my own bin-files, as well as change anything manually in the firmware)

Thank you, sir
