When a switch is used to control the joint for power, there may be an over voltage at the moment of power-up shock, this power supply mode needs to connect an electrolytic capacitor in parallel after the switch and before the joint power input (Reference specification:1000uF, 100V), as shown in Figure 5-1, to suppress overshoot of the input voltage at the moment of power-up phenomenon.

    8.2. Handling Methods 1. Adding a bleeder resistor By paralleling a resistor, when the module is in a deceleration operating state, the recovered kinetic energy is consumed through the resistor, thereby preventing the power supply voltage from becoming too high due to kinetic energy recovery. As shown in Figure 8-2, the disconnection/connection of the resistor can be operated through a logic control circuit.
