Technical Specifications

Installation & Usage Guidelines

• Power Connection: Ensure correct polarity and motor phase wiring, and use cables rated for the required current. Maintain input voltage within 40V–100V.
• Signal Wiring: Connect the signal cable to the flight controller or receiver (PWM) or to the CAN bus (V2.0 or V3.0). If using the BEC (V2.0), verify compatibility with the powered device.
• Cooling & Mounting: Provide adequate airflow around the ESC. Secure it on a suitable surface using screws, and consider additional heat sinking or thermal compound if needed.
• Testing & Maintenance: Begin with a low-load test to check motor direction, RPM, temperature, and protection mechanisms. Gradually increase the load and periodically inspect all connections and components.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

• Motor Fails to Start: Verify battery voltage, wiring polarity, and signal output from the flight controller or receiver.
• Motor Vibration or Stuttering: Check motor wiring sequence, phase alignment, and flight controller motor mapping.
• Motor Overheating or Shutdown: Reduce load or improve cooling if overheat protection triggers. Confirm motor/propeller configuration is suitable for the application.
• Low Voltage Alarm: Ensure the battery has sufficient capacity and discharge rating, and recharge or replace if necessary.

Safety & Disclaimer

• Operate in compliance with local laws and regulations for high-power drones or electric aircraft.
• Prioritize safety of personnel and equipment; avoid flying in crowded or hazardous areas.
• Any modifications or use of non-original parts may lead to unpredictable risks or damage.
• Conduct regular inspections to keep all components, screws, and wiring secure.

Applicable Scenarios

• Professional multirotor or fixed-wing drones requiring heavy payload capacity or extended flight duration.
• Electric paramotor systems (V3.0) needing CAN-based advanced control and safety monitoring.
• Industrial robots, AGVs, and special-purpose vehicles demanding high voltage and current drive systems.
• Other high-power electric platforms such as electric surfboards and boats.
