(ET) Golf Cart Motor Rating

>As I am unsure of its real duty cycle,<

For what it's worth, and as you'll see it isn't much, here are the specs on
my golf cart motor:  The service manual specs say "Direct Drive 36 volt, DC
Series Wound, 2.0 HP at 2800 RPM".  The motor nameplate further specifies
2.0KW.  It also has a goofy spec of "Rating - 0.5Hr".  This has got to be a
duty cycle statement, but it doesn't say how long you are supposed to rest
it after full power for a half hour.  There may be a standard for this of
which I am unaware.  If this don't help, I hope it don't hurt.
