Here's the FET bridge portion of the Black Jag. As you can see, there is no filter capacitor on the Jag's output.

I agree but seems like this is much more than a basic AC circuit
With the rotor stalled (which is what we're discussing) it's just a switched LR circuit.


Quote:
The original purpose of the OP's question was to determe if it was acceptable to stall the RS775 at 20% power.
Correct.


Quote:
My OPINION is that it is not acceptable, but by all means, go for it- you are only burning up 40W right?
I do not know how long the RS775 can tolerate 40W without overheating. I suggested to Leav that he run some low-power tests to determine at what point the motor starts to become uncomfortably warm to the touch.

Last I checked, a 20% position of a joystick did not result in a 4% robot speed.
I don't know where you got that from. I hope you do not think I am claiming that.


Quote:
Let me know what your simulation shows.
I already ran the simulation with 20 uH and it shows 40 watts. I do not know what the actual inductance is but I suspect it is higher than that.
