Re: [RCSE] Measuring Internal Resistance of F3B Winch Motors

The easiest way to measure a motors resistance, is to lock the shaft, and apply a known exact voltage to it, and measure the current draw at that voltage. Then just calculate the resistance. Easier, is if you have a power supply that can be limited to exactly 1 amp. I use a cable setup with

Tim, Actually, the rule on how the winches are tested has changed and just become effective. Typing as I read the document[not quite a quote]: c)The complete winch equipment[batteries, cables, switch and motor] must have a total resistance of 23.0 milliohms. The allowed resistance may be
