Current relationship between motor and ESC battery

Do ESC batteries draw more current than ESC?

The batteries should be rated for the same or higher (continuous) current than the ESC, which should in turn be rated for a significantly higher current than the motor. The rule of thumb is: Never draw any more current than whatever you're drawing it from can supply. Also, motors can draw more current than they should.

How to choose an ESC battery?

Chose a battery with higher current rating than the peak current draw of the motor. The ESC can be selected based on the voltage and the peak current rating of the motor. A simple rule is to choose an ESC with atleast 5A more capacity than the peak rating of the motor, since you may be powering servos, receiver and other accessories from the ESC.

What is the difference between ESC and motor?

Working voltage of the motor is decided by the ESC, whilst the voltage of ESC is decided by the output of batteries. Hence the total voltage of batteries must be equal or less than the maximum voltage of motor. Maximum voltage of ESC should not be higher than what the motor can suffer. Current in ESC is larger than motor.

What is the difference between battery voltage and ESC voltage?

1.Battery voltages should not be higher than the maximum voltage that ESC can suffer. 2.Continuously output of battery's current need to be bigger than the ESC's. Working voltage of the motor is decided by the ESC, whilst the voltage of ESC is decided by the output of batteries.

How does an ESC work?

An ESC can monitor current and have a current cutoff, but it delivers the same voltage for the same throttle imput regardless of the current flow that results. Also, the rated current of the motor, esc and battery do not necessarily reflect what you should actually run. The main factor is heat dissipation.

How much current does an ESC draw?

It may draw up to ~5 times higher current at startup or when a load is initially applied, but ESCs are usually rated to handle these momentary current surges. The ESC should always be rated to handle whatever current the motor draws at full throttle (100% PWM).

Why do brushless motors have a kv rating?

The KV rating is nothing but another way to state the relationship between rotation speed and back EMF (KV ≈ RPM / ε). ... so the only things limiting the motor current are the winding resistance and the supply voltage.

Battery 2S and 3s

The only correction I would make to mike''s info is that the esc size won''t tax the battery but the amount the motor pulls can. If the battery can handle 10A, a 10A or 30A esc won''t matter but the amount the motor will pull at full throttle will. Prop size determines motor amps drawn. If amps is greater than esc size. Esc releases magical smoke.

The ESC should always be rated to handle whatever current the motor draws at full throttle (100% PWM). You can lower the throttle to reduce battery current if necessary, but the motor current will then be higher - in inverse proportion to the PWM ratio. For example at half throttle (50% PWM) the motor current will be double the battery current.

Quick question: Is it better to have long wires between your FC and ESC …

Engineer here. I design brushless motors for a living (industrial brushless motors, not RC brushless motors). It is better to have shorter wires between your battery and ESC than between your ESC and motor. PWM in your ESC causes voltage spikes at the power input to your ESC and the longer the wire, the bigger the voltage spikes.

rated LOWER than the ESC and Motor Combo can pull. I.e. if your ESC is rated for 60A u/2S and your Motor can pull approx. 500W, so your Connectors should also be rated for at least 60A continuous current. This is why choosing the right plug for the right application is vital. Oversizing the components is better than undersizing.
