TESC 300 Motor Controller
The Torus TESC-300 Gen 5 is a mid-series FOC motor controller designed for high-performance electric powertrain applications. With support for 48V, 60V and 72V nominal systems, the TESC-300 delivers 70 Arms continuous current and 250 Arms peak current, making it suitable for a wide range of BLDC, IPM, PMSM, AFM and HSRM motor applications.
The controller uses Field Oriented Control (FOC) with Field Weakening and MTPA capability, providing precise motor control and efficient operation across a wide operating range.
