To whom it may concern,
I am trying to find reasonably priced motor controllers for 4 maxon RE 40 motors. The voltage is 48 V and the stall current is about 5 A. I found several motor controllers that hit the 48V but many say they supply greater than 5 A. Would this be a problem?\
Thank you,
Justin
Hello @jusmk96,

Not at all! You need to find a motor controller that will provide current equal to or above the motor’s continuous current consumption under load. If you choose a 5A motor controller for a 3A motor, the motors will only take as much current as they require. On the other hand, a 5A motor is likely to burn a 3A motor controller.
If you need any more help selecting the correct motor controller I suggest reading the following guide:
I hope this information can help you!
