I have a brushless sensored DC ESC. The Manufucturer doesn't have instructions. I probably know the purpose of every wire. The three thick wires are for the motor phases, the three wires together (white, red,black) are for the PWM. Right? But I don't understand, why there is an input for a 6-pin-cable. Could someone pls tell me, because the only option is that it is for the hall effect sensors of the motor, but then it would be 3 not 6?

  • \$\begingroup\$ You mean it wouldn't be sensored without the 6-pin-cable? or what \$\endgroup\$

Without manufacturer instructions it is not obvious how the hall effect sensors are expected to be connected. On a search for possible connection topologies found:

  1. Designing the 3-Phase Brushless DC Motor shows a 3 phase BLDC motor with three two pin hall sensors which then requires 6 pins:

  2. How to Connect Brushless DC Motors to an Electronic Controller shows a different possible topology which uses 5 pins, 3 hall effect outputs, voltage supply and ground:

  • \$\begingroup\$ EY. But did I understand it right, that my motor isn'T compatible with the ESC then? \$\endgroup\$
