Had a hiccup with motor supply, but everything running smoothly again. Will be a little while before everything is back in stock, but we are again at full production.

Thanks!

No, those are wrong, sorry.

I was thinking about each individual winding, not bullet to bullet. There are two windings per phase in series (four poles) and two phases in series due to the wye.

Over 200A for 20 seconds.

And yeah, it's a pretty big value, but yes, it's for a very short time. The actual current where damage happens to the MOSFETs due to real damage to the die is over 600A.

While true, there are also instances when active freewheeling reduces efficiency significantly.

Cryodrive is more sophisticated than simple AFW, and results in efficiency gains across the board.

Not exactly. Cryo-drive is more sophisticated than synchronous rectification -- it's a true active freewheeling.

New motors!

Actually, I'm looking for suggestions for new sizes/KVs of motors of release.

Any good suggestions?

Thanks!

Ceramic bearing may decrease IO somewhat. But I wouldn't expect much of a difference.

When you compare our motor with others, you will notice our IO is very low, and efficiency higher.

Well, no. The heatsink would have to be removed to read the chips, and that would void any warranty.

Sorry. :cry:

Ceramic bearings can make it both quieter and reduce IO -- but be careful, they damage easy. And the front bearing is especially easy to damage.

I can't comment on what MOSFETs we use. But you...

Disappointed by what?

Those are excellent numbers. At 100A, the whole motor is only dissipating 50W.

The difference is simply that there are tabs -- and A & C phase have slightly higher...

I'm surprised to see THAT much difference, usually they are a little better balanced.

I'd honestly expect to see slightly lower (A) to (B) and (B) to (C) than (A) to (C).

B phase has a shorter...

Were you running sensored or sensorless? What phase advance were you using?

Note that you will see higher IO at higher phase advance.

Thanks!

Hmmmmm...

Possible there's an issue with the current measurement on the slow ESC. It may think the current is higher.

Not sure. You can always send it in for a checkup.

Thanks!
