Re: Testing Motor for Specs?
The questions never end, do they? ;-)

I downloaded Dr. Joe's Motor Calc spreadsheet, but in looking at the data voltage I'm a bit confused. Is this supposed to be the voltage measured during the test, or the voltage it was supposed to be? For example, I was testing the motor at what was supposed to be 6V, but it was really 4.7V. Which number should be entered?

Thanks,
