Is there any general advice on how to handle motor stall currents? I’m making a robot with two large, high torque 24V motors powering the wheels and the motors take 4A normally but have a 15A stall current each.
Are there certain things I should be doing in either hardware/software to make sure that the stall currents aren’t there for prolonged periods of time or if there are, that I protect the circuitry somehow?
If you need to protect your circuit from high current a good option is to use a fuse or a circuit breaker, however, if you think it is possible that you stall the motors frequently it would be best if you use a motor controller with thermal and overcurrent protection, for example:
