Hello,
What could be power ratings of this small hard disk drive BLDC motors?
I've disassembled one from old Segeate 30GB 7200RPM as I know:
Its 3 phase wires here with something like serial number, while Google says nothing about this
KF1037SDAPV4 .
There is about 4.3 Ohm resistance beetween each 3 phase wires.
I do not need spin this motor to high speeds, while it will be reused in magnetic mixer, but I wonder how much power those HDD motors might have?
Update:
I've found some benchmark HDD idle power values
However, I have HDD motor only without any read/write operations...
Is it safe to limit current to lets say 1A @ 5V and drive this HDD BLDC without damage assuming it consumes this power for rotation and is driven by 3 phase BLDC motor driver?
