Re: "Backdriving" Motors -- Safe for Victors?
Ken,

We have repeatedly performed both of your scenarios over the years and have never damaged a Victor in this way. We have only blown one Victor about 6 years ago and that was attributed to an aluminum chip which fell into the heat sink assembly.

I would not worry about it...

JMHO.

Mike
