    The sensor reduces low speed cogging. It's really useful in rc rock crawlers when you are doing low speed precision driving.

    You say the difference is startup but didn't let the people know that for turbo timing and boost timing advance it needs to be sensored . Keep up the good work ,I try to make constructive criticism.i am looking forward to your results I have a 6 cyl supra I wanna boost . Please get some data with advanced timing applied

    You should test the current draw with sensored vs sensorless with heavy load, on the "inverter world" the sensored can accomplish the same power a sensorless unit with way less current. Since it can efficient "fire" the stators, with some inverters we can even overclock some eletric motors, to spin faster what they are designed, only with sensored of course... We use encoder with at least 2048PPR(Pulse per revolution) i dunno the resolution of the sensored unit you have, would be nice to know

  • @arva1kes
    @arva1kes Год назад +1

    would have really helped if you somehow would tried to stall/change speed of the motor sensored vs sensorless , which would explain the main reason on having sensored motors.

    • @AlexLTDLX
      @AlexLTDLX  Год назад

      The main reason for sensors is when the back EMF is too low or nonexistent and can't be read by the ESC. Startup is the #1 scenario for justifying sensors, hands-down. Changes in speed once the motor's spinning over a couple of hundred rpm aren't a problem. In fact, over a few thousand rpm, most ESCs no longer use sensors, simply back EMF. Changing speeds (or simply trying to stall a motor - which on an almost 20 hp motor can be quite dangerous) isn't a good indicator of sensored vs sensorless operation.

    • @AlexLTDLX
      @AlexLTDLX  Год назад

      That motor, despite being larger and heavier, is actually less powerful - at least going by ratings alone. It no doubt makes more torque, but a less rpm - and you need both torque and rpm to make power. It's not a bad motor by any means, it's just not as well suited to the job.

      I appreciate you trying to find it. I didn't even look, to be honest. Just not worth the effort, and I've never seen a connector like it. The closest thing is a Lemo connector (we use those a lot on equipment at work), but Lemos are a tiny bit bigger, far better made and cost an obscene amount of money: tinyurl.com/bdfw46r8 Plus the layout is a little different. Here's the corporate website: www.lemo.com/en

    At least in the RC car world even a sensored setup will only run sensored at very low RPM. They switch to unsensored mode once they get above that startup RPM. Because of this unless you actually need that really fine granularity at startup there's no advantage to a sensored setup.

    • @AlexLTDLX
      @AlexLTDLX  Год назад

      Yes, I said that in the video. The other benefit (also in the video) is the elimination of start up current spikes. I've had two ESCs die from that. And they were expensive ones... almost $3,000 worth of ESCs... I have videos on them.

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC Год назад

      @@AlexLTDLX gotcha. Yeah I didn't see it specifically mentioned that it switched over to sensorless in the video but I must have missed it.
      I don't think current spikes will be an issue with this ESC. I would imagine you're going to get a lot less current spike starting up that blower than you would starting a 40 lb RC car moving from a dead standstill. It's one nice thing about the RC ESCs. They're extremely robust.

    • @AlexLTDLX
      @AlexLTDLX  Год назад

      Unfortunately, those current spikes are very real - here's a $1,700 APD ESC failing less than a second after startup (and almost burning down my house and making a 4" diameter puddle of molten aluminum under the car): ruclips.net/video/_n6hDRsMZd8/видео.html

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC Год назад

      @@AlexLTDLX I wonder if it's from going from zero to 100%, so quickly. The hobbywing ESCs have what's known as punch control and by default it's set somewhere in the middle so it won't allow itself to go from 0 to 100% too quickly. In RC this is to prevent destroying parts on the car but in your application it may very well prevent a huge current spike as well. Maybe not though just spitballing.
