Is it possible to start the motor under heavy load in FOC mode?

[DTort.1]

I use Hall sensors as speed feedback, is it possible to correctly start the motor when it is under 100% load.

Or need to apply special methods for initial increase in speed like 6-step control?

I have attached several oscillograms that I found about this, whether the Motor SDK does it on its own or it has to be written manually separately and then how to combine it with the FOC algorithm.

I am using B-G431B-ESC1 board and MC SDK 5.Y.3

Dear @DTort.1​ 

If you use hall sensors to measure angle and speed, the motor have probably to start at full load.

Unless this full load requires more torque than the board or the application can provide and then it is probably more tricky.

Is it your use case?

Best regards

Thanks for the answer!

After doing some additional testing, I realized that yes, the FOC with Hall sensors is quite capable of starting the motor even under heavy load.
