My motors have a stall current of over 150A. Can the AX2550 handle them?
Yes. The whole idea of active current limiting is that the controller will never give more current than it is safe to. If the motors are hungry for more current because of peak demand, the controller’s maximum current is all they are going to get. In most cases, this kind of peak demand is exceptional and giving the motor less current makes no visible difference. If the controller does not have active current limitation, then it must be large enough to be capable of delivering these very high and often accidental current load or risk destruction. How can I tell if the AX2550 will be sufficiently powerful for my robot Roboteq recommends that you use Enigma Industries’ Electric Drive Train Simulator. This amazing software will let you simulate your robot’s components (motors, gears, batteries, wheels) and drive it around in a 3D arena. You will be able to view how much current is drawn in the various driving conditions. You will need to remember that if you see Amp loads above 120A (140A
