was able to pull 40A at 50V before the motors would saturate and got a 30degC temperature rise. To go >40A @ 50V I would need to change up my motor jig to load up the system even more. So that’s 2000W constant, and the Vesc-X temperature only raised to 50degC. That means there’s another 50degC headroom and could probably handle up to 90-100A @ 50V constant!
Now my setup:
-15KW power supply
-Master-slave motor jig, slave motor has all phases shorted together (this motor was already burnt), the master motor drives the salve
-The slave motor will dynamically load up the master motor until it saturates, in this case the maximum load was 50V@40A
@Blasto I agree w @E-Boarding that an FOC test would be great. Even more helpful with a 6374-sized motor at 10S.
BTW @Blasto did you solder together the three motor wires to create resistance for the other motor to push against? That’s a really clever testing jig!
if this vesc can take more amps I assume it would be now better suited for emountainboard use compared to the ‘‘original vesc’s’’ since a lot of ppl not recommend them for mountainboard use
Sure, works as normal. So you can even verify that in watt mode the VESC only uses like 50% of the max watts at 50% throttle. But you only can see that when the motor has load which you are going to test as it seems.
