Terms explanation:

• The controller delivers maximal current without limitation if the battery voltage is below the Maximum working voltage and above the Minimum working voltage.
• The output current is proportionally limited if the battery voltage is above the Maximum working voltage and below the Full limitation voltage. This is indicated by the "Overvoltage" status.
• The output current is fully limited if the battery voltage is above the Full limitation voltage and below the Critical error voltage (max). This state is indicated by the "Overvoltage" status. The controller automatically recovers if the voltage falls below the Full limitation voltage.
• The controller falls into critical error if the battery voltage exceeds the Critical error voltage (max). The controller can be permanently damaged in this region and does not recover automatically, it needs to be turned OFF and ON again.
• The output current is proportionally limited if the battery voltage is below the Minimum working voltage and above the Threshold voltage. This is indicated by the "Undervoltage" status.
• The output current is fully limited if the battery voltage is below the Threshold voltage and above the Critical error voltage (min). This state is indicated by the "Undervoltage" status. The controller automatically recovers if the voltage rises above the Threshold voltage.
• The controller falls into critical error if the battery voltage falls below the Critical error voltage (min). The controller does not recover automatically, it needs to be turned OFF and ON again.

Phase current limit values *	Variant independent
Motor standstill (limited by hardcoded I2R limiter)	60 A
Motor rotating (limited by hardcoded I2R limiter)	85 A

* When motor is rotating, power losses are equally divided between all three phases. This significantly reduces risk of single phase overheating and the controller is able tu supply higher current.

Thermal specification

Maximum power losses

Controller maximum temperature is internally limited to approximately 100°C. The maximum output current (or maximum power losses) for this limiting temperature is given by the temperature of the heatsink. Dependencies are given in the following graphs.

Example on how to get heatsink thermal resistance

This example with AX controller shows on how to get required heatsink thermal resistance based on the required phase current amplitude and surrounding temperature.

1. Define the required phase current ($I_{phase} = 50$ A for the example)
2. Get maximum permissible heatsink temperature from the graph "Dependency of heatsink temperature on phase current amplitude" ($T_{hs} = 57°C$ from the example)
3. Put the temperature value to the graph "Dependency of heatsink temperature on power losses"
4. Get required power that needs to be dissipated by the heatsink ($P = 33$ W from the example)

5. Define the ambient operating temperature ($T_{amb} = 25$ °C for the example)
6. Calculate required thermal resistance of the heatsink by using this equation $R_{hs}=\dfrac{T_{hs} - T_{amb}}{P} =\dfrac{57 - 25}{33} \approx 0.97$ °C/W
7. You can design your heatsink now!
