Re: Limiting Drivetrain Motors
I'm not sure we need to limit motor power. The main breaker does an okay job but the real limiter is traction. As long as the carpet and weight limit are in place there is only so much power you can physically transfer to the ground.
We ran 8 motors this year. We never popped our main breaker and one of the main reasons that I would continue doing it is that are motors actually stayed much colder than in the past.
