Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | Tough to answer than question for sure without seeing the schematics of the motor control circuitry. If the input voltage goes through a regulator rated to handle 36V or more then probably no damage to the circuitry unless there is voltage feedback from the motor in which case there would be resistors matched to 24 volts for optimum response. The feedback could be too high and might cause the filtering opamps feeding the micro to go unstable from having an input higher than the supply voltage, which could overvaltage the micro inputs and then all bets are off as to what might happen. The motor can be run at higher voltages without burning it up immediately but over the long run it will die an untimely death. It just isn't a very practical way to do things. Most likely any damage that will occur has already started and will only get worse with time. |
