Stefan was surprised regarding power consumption of his
brushless motor mowing 10-15 cm long gras.
Motor operates in Heli-Mode. He monitors the current with an additional current sensor.
Comparison of technical data of the normal
motor (mower: Ambrogio L50)
Cutty1 (L50 Mähmotor)
Anlaufstrom 4,3A (Starting current)
Leerlaufstrom 1,4A
mähen 7,1A (while mowing)
(
Brushless)
Standby (durch DC/DC Wandler) 2,01mA
Anlaufstrom gleichmäßig von 0,0 auf 1,02A (starting current)
Leerlaufstrom 1,02A
mähen 1,7A (while mowing)
Brusless Konfigration

Motor: Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 5055-280kv
- Regler: HobbyKing 40A BlueSeries
- DC-DC Wandler: Low Ripple 12A 4.5-30V/0.8-30V Daten
- Currentsensor 30A
Total cost of Brushlessdrive: 87,22 EUR.
He uses a LiPo-7S with a
brushless controller built for 6s only. Therefore he operates the controller and
motor via a DC-DC converter "simulating" a 6s-Lipo.
More details he will report soon ...
Hope this helps a little bit.
Have a nice evening
Best regards ... Peter
