5. DRIVER VOLTAGE AND CURRENT SELECTION
Selecting Supply Voltage:
Higher supply voltage can increase motor torque at higher speeds. However, higher voltage
may cause more motor vibration at lower speeds. It may also cause over-voltage protection
and even damage the drive. Therefore, it is suggested to choose only sufficiently high supply
voltage for intended applications.
Setting Output Current
For a given motor, higher drive current will improve motor output torque, but at the same time
cause more heating in the motor and driver. Therefore, output current is generally set to be such
that the motor will not overheat during lengthy operation.
Since parallel and serial connections of motor coils will significantly change resulting inductance
and resistance, it is important to set driver output current depending on motor phase current,
motor leads and connection method.
