We are proud to announce a new product that will suite the power junkies very well. It is the High Power edition of the famous VESC6 design.
When updating the VESC 6 to the latest MKVI standard we managed to get 12 FETs into the same form factor and increase the peak power handling quite a bit. This design can measure currents up to 220A reliably and push up to 160A peak (motor max current) and a 70A continuous with no additional cooling (sitting on the desk at room temperature). With these specs it should be the perfect match for hydrofoils, and power hungry e-boards or scooters.
I don’t see what’s wrong here? It’s simply stating that these VESCs will not be available until the 1st of Decemberember, in the year 20022. Seems reasonable to warn customers of an 18000 year lead time.
@Trampa is this new ESC 100 amp continuous or what? Are you saying it’s only 100amp continuous if you use a heatsink? If you don’t heatsink you’re limited to 70 amp continuous?
Motor max setting can go as high as 160A
The unit can measure spikes well above 200A, so you won’t get ABS over current faults because of a spike below around 220A. This measurement headroom is important for the reliable peak power rating.
Continuous Amps depend on cooling. We manage to pull 70A continuous with the unit on the desk at room temperature with a 6W/mk heat pad. The production units will feature 11W/mk heat pads and will be slightly better cooling wise.
Amp ratings are always phase amps. Battery current is not relevant for ESC ratings. The Mosfets see the phase amps no matter of battery amps. You can easily push 150 phase amps at 10 battery amps.
The Mosfets would definitely see the full 150A in that scenario.
It uses the time proven logic stage layout of the previous VESC 6 models. Never touch a running system… It features the latest MK VI updates with second UART, automatic sensor voltage, spin to start on/off feature and updated IMU precision.
On this model the power stage is simply more capable peak power wise but not harder to drive.
The Rdson resistance is a lot lower on these devices and therefore more current can flow while generating the same amount of heat inside the power stage.
@Trampa this is a cool product, but one thing seems kind of odd to me. It would seem you have hired a 7 year old child to be in charge of the website’s design and writing product descriptions…
While they were drafting this, was the child in question perhaps tying with a keyboard that randomly inserted spaces? Forget proofreading, did the person who wrote this even speak English fluently? I get this kind of stuff is not a priority for you guys but tbh I would expect more from the company responsible for “the most advanced electric speed controller ever to be produced”
Find the fault
Guess it’s the same what’s happening to Trampas guys. Autocorrect or just fast typing.
The difference is just that we would expect a serious company as minimum to double check their product descriptions before they put them online. Trampa probably is holding up to the good old „never change a running system“ so I wouldn’t expect anything to change regards this in future.
