stall current

My comment:

The high current that flows through an electric motor when its action is inhibited. For example, if the mirrors on a vehicle are moved by motors and the mirror cannot move (there is a physical entity stopping it) then a "stall current" will flow through the motor.

Motors draw current depending on the load they’re pulling. Usually more load means more current. Every motor has a stall current, which is the current it draws when it’s stopped by an opposing force.
