"No entiende" is spanish for "don't understand."

It's no big deal I was just missing what you were saying, I misunderstood what you were saying.

It would seem to me that a slotted motor would have a lower idle current than a non slotted motor (air core) due to having more inductance, thus more impedance (and lower Kv) than an aircore motor. Is this correct?

And how do you measure idle current? With the motor at a very low RPM without a load? What's the test procedure?

Jeff The Warnings & Cautions discussed in this manual cant cover all possible conditions/situations. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cant be built into this product. Last edited by J57ltr; 07.19.2009 at 01:51 PM.
