Re: 2005 Motor Information
Can anyone help with a question related to the "Intro to Motors" [Heinzmann & Mikus] presentation posted on the 2005 Kick Off Workshop List? Near the end they list a "simple strategy" of assuming a higher motor resistance to calculate a new power curve. They then say to "operate at half the new peak power". I'm wondering if it was supposed to say "... half the new peak torque". Half of the already greatly reduced power seems REALLY low.

Thanks!
