- Motor jerks and stops when voltage exceeds 27V (MCK-RA4T1)
Hello, I'm performing speed tests using motor senseless vector control application based on the sample project: RA4T1_MCILV1_SPM_LESS_FOC_E2S_V111. While the EVK is rated for 12V - 48V, the motor fails to operate reliably once the input voltage exceeds 27V. I'm using a custom motor ...
