Re: paper: 4 CIM versus 6 CIM theoretical calculations

Electrical Power and Mechanical Power are not the same.

The Electrical Power into the a DC Motor is Volts x Amps (Watts)

The Mechanical Power Out is:

Power Out = Torque*(0.112985) * Speed * (2*pi/60) in Watts

Note: 1 lb-in = 0.112985 Nm, and radian/sec 2*pi/60 = rpm

The Motor Efficiency is

η=(Power Out) /( Power in)

At near free speed, the torque and Mechanical Power approach zero.
