zombiess said:I don't know how much torque the pie makes, but both the ebikes.ca simulator an my own simulation using SWBlutos predicts that I'm making 350 N-m / 258 ft-lbs of torque at 0 rpm at 125V 100A into the motor with a 20.2" wheel. It jumps to about 480 N-m at 125V /355 ft lbs at 200A (why I'm trying to get a longer swing arm).
the std pie makes about 1.3NM per phase amp, and in delta its .75NM per phase amp.
-thats up to around 100NM where saturation begins, in fact to make 100NM the winding temp went from 40degc to 160degc in 20 seconds, and resulted in 2890w of heat to dissipate.
so without drilling, the pie can constantly dissipate a max of 290w, so to my way of thinking 100NM is only ok for 10% duty cycle?? (290w being a tenth of 2890w?).
480NM sounds a bit keen, if you mean 200a and 125v into the controller at 0 rpm, then you have around 25000w to dissipate, this may be troublesome..
-maby do it inside with a fire extinguisher handy, cos that would heat an entire large house in winter. :lol:
