Re: (ET) Power of DC - was (no subject)



Yep, your right!

I measured the field to be 15 ohms static. Ohms law says 36 volts and 15 
ohms is 2.4 amps.  So at 72 volts it will
still only suck 4.8 amps, and then only for a few seconds until the 
controller starts to reduce the field. The Curtis
is capable of a 50 amp field for 2 minutes. But the motor isn't capable of 
accepting it, the controller will only
provide what the motor will take. In order for it to take the full 50 amps 
the controller would have to hit it with 50
