What is a motor driver
A motor driver is simply a switch, because the motor drives a large current or voltage, and when ordinary switches or electronic components
cannot be used as switches to control the motor, a so-called driver must be added to control the motor.
The function of a motor driver: The function of a motor driver refers to controlling the idle speed of a motor by controlling the rotation angle and
operating speed of the motor to achieve control over the duty cycle.
Principle circuit diagram of motor drive circuit: The motor drive circuit can be driven by relays or power transistors, or by thyristors or
power type MOSFETs. In order to adapt to different control requirements (such as motor operating current, voltage, motor speed regulation,
forward and reverse control of DC motors, etc.), different types of motor drive circuits must meet relevant requirements.
The electric vehicle does not start when powered on, making it difficult to push and accompanied by a “clacking” sound.
The occurrence of this situation is caused by a short circuit in the motor wire due to virtual contact. It is difficult to remove the
three coarse phase wires of the motor and push the cart, indicating that the controller is broken and needs to be replaced in a
timely manner. If the implementation is still difficult, it indicates that there is a problem with the motor, which may be caused by
a short circuit and burning of the motor coil.
