Hi,
I'm planning to drive 4 brushed dc servos off of one snapamp/kflop, and I'm concerned about limiting current to the motors.
As far as I understand, the snapamp is rated for 500W / motor when driving 4 brushed dc motors. The motors I have are 2.9 ohm winding resistance and my power supply is 60 volts. This means that a stalled motor may draw up to ~20 amps which in turn is ~1200 watts/motor. I saw information about setting the fault peak current limits, but is there a recommended way to set peak current inside the kflop/snapamp (not just the fault limit)? Also, is it true that the motors will draw fewer amps when spinning? Still I'd like to be safe before blowing anything up.
Also, is there a max amp rating for the snapamp?
