Virtual Motor Dyno - Efficiency maps for any motor
Posted: Jul 28 2020 1:47pm
Hi everyone
This is a project that I've been wanting to do for a long time, a virtual motor dyno that from just a few measurements enables us to plot efficiency map, total losses, copper losses, core losses and output power
I made this intended for smaller motors for electric skateboards, but problems with the current measurement at low values in the VESC controllers that most of us use are causing a bit of a headache
Anyways, think this will be use full for hub motors and all that
Cheers
This are the examples using a 6355 190Kv motor, takes it with a grain of salt given the problems with current measurement I'm having
A few more details here

The forum doesn't let me upload MatLab files, so here is a google drive link
