title_body: ESC shutting down when motor loaded I have a BLDC motor and a 300 amp ESC, The ESC shuts down after a few seconds at full load. The motor only draws 2 amps at full throttle, full load and the voltage only drops .5 volts. The battery is 6-s 8-p and has been tested, all cells are good My question is what is triggering the shutdown in the ESC?  I have it set at 3v per cell which would be 18v It never get's lower than 24v. Nothing gets hot, it isn't on long enough to even get warm. If it's not the LVC is there something in the ESC that tells it is drawing to much current? Could it be the back EMF is not triggering the sequence correctly?  I'm using an Arduino connected to the ESC instead of RC, Could there be anything in the code I could adjust?
  #include &lt;Servo.h&gt; //Using servo library to control ESC
  Servo esc; //Creating a servo class with name as esc
  void setup()
  {
  esc.attach(10); //Specify the esc signal pin,Here as D10
  esc.writeMicroseconds(1000); //initialize the signal to 1000
  Serial.begin(9600);
  }
  void loop()
  {
  int val; //Creating a variable val
  val= analogRead(A0); //Read input from analog pin a0 and store in val
  val= map(val, 0, 1023,1000,2000); //mapping val to minimum and maximum(Change if needed)
  esc.writeMicroseconds(val); //using val as the signal to esc

  This is a custom build so there is no other info on the prop.
upvoted_answer: This has already happened to me, the problem was ESC configuration.
  I was using a LiFe battery (3.3V/Cell) and the Low Voltage Cut-Off Threshold ESC configuration was about to cut the current with 3.2V/Cell. Look for the programmable settings of your ESC and check how it is.
