Very well thought through video, good stuff!
I've wondered for long time too why so few escs adopt afw. In fact when i first got into bldc motors, i assumed that they ALL used afw, because not using it is just silly. Programming it should be easy too right? Invert the high side gate control, add delay. |

Great explanation in the video!
I was on the right track, they are just flyback loops, active gets an efficient fet, passive gets an inefficient diode. Steve Sent from Tapatalk using my Inspire 4g through ATT (meaning it's a wonder you can see this!)

Programming the AFW is quite difficult. The software makes the difference between good and bad AFW.

Timing is critical, and if your phase runs out of residual current, you will be basically just applying brakes (by shorting the phase). This is called discontinuous mode. The idea scenario is to measure the phase current, and when current stops flowing, you turn-OFF the free-wheeling MOSFET. regards Tony |

When the reverse EMF spike current drops and the FET switches off, what happens to the generated voltage on the coil? Does it just float? It would be the wrong polarity to conduct through the protection diode, right? Or am I confused? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

The Generated voltage floats between GND and Supply, and the voltage seen on the phase is proportional to the torque ripple.. |

Tony, somebody already asked for adding a Hobbyking YEP ESC to your test. I also think this would turn your test to a really interesting one.
Why? Especially since YGE officially stated on their homepage, that the YEP ESCs are (more or less) a 100% plagiarism of an older revision of their YGE ESC. YGE said that also the software of the ESC was stolen 1:1. So it would be quite interesting how the YEP performs in comparison to the YGE. Regards, Hemut

Hemut, I'd be more than happy to do a 1v1 comparison of the YEP vs YGE.
Just need more time as i haven't even finished these tests. |

Tony, that's only a suggestion from my side. You decide what you are doing in your test.
Regards from Austria Helmut

From what I observe on the yep esc afw mode, it has either no ability to detect the end of freewheel current or an inaccurate detection, and suffers a big rpm discontinuity when going through a certain throttle.
This issue is relieved with some load eg blades. So what esc has the best afw programming in your perspective, hemut and tony? And for what reasons? |

I also would say that Kontronik has the best AFW. Also Gov and smooth spool-up is the best.
Because of that the Jive is well established on the market since years. The Jive is an absolute carefree package. The Kosmik is new on the market. So we have to wait, until more users got their hands on it. The Kosmik has an extreme smooth spool-up. It looks like a real heli. So this feature is very nice for big electric scale helis. The Kosmik is quite big and strong. I would say, the Kosmik is too big and not necessary for a 700 heli. I will use a Helijive with a 4530 for my Banshee. With good cooling the Jive can handle peaks about 240A without problems. Regards, Helmut

This thread is really enlightening... Well done ub3r on the clear and concise explanations, and an excellent test!

awesome thanks for the post on AFW you didnt need to go that far a link to a wiki or some thing would of been fine

Thanks Ub3r, my line of work is electronics too, not a clue about ESC specifics though, so very enlightning for me too and appreciate the effort.
Assume you are the same guy that looked into CC problems a while ago and impressed Patrick: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...1450849&page=7 Great to have a real independant authority on ESC's although pretty well hooked on Kontronic, shame about the costs though, but for piece of mind . Great to understand the theory though and testing though.

Hey tony if you get a chance, i'd like to nominate pwm as your next point of discussion. I'm interested in a detailed breakdown and estimate of the pwm esc losses and pwm motor losses.
In particular the effect of fet drain source charge, voltage, current, switching frequency, afw on the switching losses. Would be nice to have a general idea of how much total loss it is. |
