Wire Dimensions

For high current applications, it is possible that the controller may heat-up faster and to a higher temperature than can be dissipated by the heatsink enclosure using natural convec- tion alone.

In these applications, you should ensure that air flow exists to remove the heat from the heat sink. In the most extreme use, you should consider using external and fan to circulate air around the controller.

Alternatively, you may mount the controller so that its bottom area is in contact with large metallic parts of the robot’s body. This will allow some of the controller’s heat to dissipate through conduction to additional metal mass, and therefore remain cooler for longer peri- ods of time. Apply thermal grease between the controller’s bottom and the robot’s chassis to ensure the best thermal conduction.

Wire Dimensions

A total of eight heavy gauge wires, and two thin wires are present at the back of the con- troller. Their length and dimension is shown in Table 29 below.
