Re: Safe Method for Purposeful Brown-out

Which electronics are you intending to test?

A 6 CIM drive moving a 140LB robot can drop your voltage to below 10v. That can cause some brown-out issues for some components. But I think it would be safer to monitor loads with as few electronics connected as possible to test your limits.
