16. Regen Transistor
When the servomotor is turned off, there is still a voltage present across
the main bus of the servo. The regen transistor acts as a switch with
closes when the servo is turned off to allow this voltage through to the
Y3 and Y4 terminals. Here it is dissipated across resistors 1 and 2. When
checking the regen transistor, you are making sure it hasn’t been shorted
across the emitter and collector.
