Hello all,
I am interested in driving an industrial-type brushless DC motor with a hobby-type electronic speed controller. There are industrial speed controllers but they are larger, heavier, and much more expensive.
Are there any issues with doing this? What is different between the two? I did see a warning in a manual for an RC ESC which said that it is not designed to be operated with a power supply. It did not say why but I am guessing it is because there is no schottky diode?
Any input would be appreciated.
thanks!
Tony
