Voltage Boost

I see many rules requiring specific circuit breakers and relays, wiring sizes, connector types, etc... when driving motors. I don't see any restrictions that would indicate a voltage Boost/Regulator circuit to maintain no load battery terminal voltage (or higher) couldn't be used to supply a motor withinin it's maximum operating range.

Sorry, not legal.

Re: Voltage Boost

Not legal and not efficient enough at this current.

Re: Voltage Boost

it can be done in code... just convert a PWM signal to volts and determine the maximum.

Can you explain?
