Max Power???
A lot of people have been talking about designing around max power of the motor. Be very, very careful!!! For example, the Chiaphua motor pulls 55 amps at max power. The 30 amp breakers will trip if you run at max power for long. We take a little more conservative approach and design all our drivetrains to be optimized around 28 amps. The max power ratings of motors can be deceiving: Look at the FP(this years), Chiaphua, and Drill motor curves only from 0 to 30 amps and see how similar they really are.
Food for thought. -Paul |
