hi snowc
Yes i agree with your points, it is really an amazingly complex field, I think the examples I gave are more for an idealised max power output,
you cant go higher than the peak efficiency/ max amps/max voltage, even if you dont get those things coinciding in the real world.
But thats what was used in the technical aspects of that case, and I assume would be used again in future cases. But it does highlight the rediculous
lower power limit of the current law, I guess you could say if they change it to continous output its a victory, as it would really be increasing the power
limit from 130w cont. to 200w cont.
The final academic they hired actual knew what he was doing, he was trained in china and had a very long experience in the field.
Puting in a simple test for stall amps was really for anyone who wanted to see if their bike was legal or not in oz, just a simple way to find what is max amp of a controller. If your bike is above the amp figures I gave for different voltage systems then its going to loose in any court disputes going by the precendent already set, not likely you'll find a 36v or 48v commercial system on the market that meets those specs.
simply changing to continuous power rating is going to take away all these legal problems ( to a degree), in my view.
