Re: PSA: Blow it out yer amps!




Except for possibly damaging bearings when speed is massively in excess of design speed, the real problem with spinning electrical motors at excessive speeds is induction and discharging in an uncontrolled manner that can kill the control circuitry and/or damage the windings of the motor. Sometimes you can even throw the windings even if you don't damage them electrically.
