Re: Modeling motor control

The only knowns are the Victors turn off both high and low side FET groups except when "brake" mode is enabled and throttle is zero. Luminary reps (a while ago) posted that the tan Jags only turn off the high side FETs while leaving the low side FETs turned on for direction. "Brake" operation is the same. I have no known source for operation on the black jags but assume there was no change.
While the Jags only turn off one FET group, they also have the current sense resistor (.0005 ohm for tan and .001 for black) in series with the discharge path to battery. Again, this path to the battery only exists while the voltage generated in the motor can forward bias the body diode(s).
