no-load mode or freewheel(ing) Explanation: I guess this is about electric motors, also operating in hybrid engines. Now an electric engine also always acts as a generator. So when a vehicle has reached a certain speed, the motor will need to be disconnected from the battery (and then reconnected when power is needed again). Or in a hybrid engine, when the fossil engine takes over the electric motor (in windmill mode so to speak) will still be spinning and create a current. Though one could use the current generated this is different to KERS or RB(Regenerative braking - https://bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/31124/electric-... So the text here refers to a wheel/motor spinning freely under no load. Apart from the mechanical friction this could/would create undesired wear on other connected electronic component and the induced current is not necessarily wanted either. Hence a flyback diode or some other microcontroller is needed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R_3jHeimiE https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=164421.0 |
