def SUAVE.Components.Energy.Distributors.Electronic_Speed_Controller.Electronic_Speed_Controller.__defaults__

(

self

)

This sets the default values.
    
    Assumptions:
    None
    
    Source:
    N/A
    
    Inputs:
    None

Reimplemented from SUAVE.Components.Energy.Energy_Component.Energy_Component.

currentin()

def SUAVE.Components.Energy.Distributors.Electronic_Speed_Controller.Electronic_Speed_Controller.currentin	(		self,
			conditions
	)

The current going into the speed controller

    Assumptions:
The ESC draws current.
    
    Inputs:
self.inputs.currentout [amps]
       
    Outputs:
outputs.currentin      [amps]
    
    Properties Used:
self.efficiency - [0-1] efficiency of the ESC

voltageout()
