Re: Intermittent connection on field only

Mike,
What you describe is typical Jag over current trip. Once they go into fail mode, they wait about 3.5 seconds before returning to normal operation. Most teams using the Jags build in a ramp up to full throttle to help reduce current through the device when the motors are in stall.
