What matters

300 A peak current

300 amps for 10 seconds at 60 V. It takes launch and climb loads without folding the current back.

Deadman safety input

The driver cuts its output when the operator line is released. The safety logic scrutineering asks for is already on the board.

Classic CAN communication

CAN for telemetry and in-vehicle communication. The architecture is laid out ready for RS485 to be added.

12 V contactor driver

The circuit that drives the main contactor coil is inside the board. You do not need to carry a separate relay board.

  • Underwater and marine vehicles

  • Industrial drives and test benches

Questions about this product

What motor type does the driver run?
Hall-sensored BLDC motors. The board carries three Hall inputs and a 5 V output that supplies the sensors, so you do not need a separate sensor supply board.
How long can it deliver 300 A peak?
300 amps for 10 seconds at a 60 volt supply. That figure is defined for short high-load moments such as launch and climb; it is not a continuous rating. Rated power is 5 kW.
What supply voltage range does it work at?
60–96 V DC. If your battery sits outside that range, write to us — supply range is a parameter that can be changed in the design.
Is regenerative braking included?
No. This product is planned without regenerative braking. If you need to return braking energy to the battery, that has to be discussed at the design stage.
What protocol does the driver communicate with?
Classic CAN, usable for telemetry and in-vehicle communication. The architecture is laid out ready for RS485 to be added, but the standard product does not carry an RS485 line.
