ICP 4030 iMC-P Current reduction (DIP switch 4) Since the holding torque of stepper motors is higher than the torque, a holding torque similar to that of the torque can be achieved by means of a reduced current. As a result, for example, with a current reduction of 25%, the power dissipation is reduced by 50%, as the power decreases square to the current.
