The

VXM

applies

energy

to

the

motors

based

on

the

size

of

the

motor.

The

physical

size

is

the

important

aspect

that

determines

the

amount

energy

the

VXM

will

apply.

The

size

of

the

motor

is

proportional

to

the

motor’s

current

times

it’s

inductance.

Motors

of

the

same

current

are

not

the

same

to

the

VXM.

When

using

motors

not

listed

for

use

with

the

VXM,

set

the

VXM

to

motor

setting

that

has

the

same

or

higher

current

times

inductance

value

than

the

motor

you

wish

to

use.
