Re: (ET) E20 motor at 48V
Steve,
Find/build a controller that would limit the voltage and current to a
safe level. Do not forget the mower motors and accessories.
You would then have longer run time and peak performance at the design
specification.

Steve,
Without looking at the design info, that's 33% over voltage.
Gain - run faster, more acceleration
Pain - will draw more amps for higher performance, overspeed, insulation
degradation, commutation distress, running at top speed will probably
cause banding to fail if motor doesn't flashover first, transmission
damage if run too fast....basically toast.
DC Motors are designed using voltage and top speed as key parameters.
The number of armature conductors provides torque and commutator bars
are limited by volts per bar (between bars)......at higher voltage that
is pushed past the limit, the motor can't "commutate" the current and
blam-o....

(ex-motor designer - can you tell?)

Happy New Year all!
So, what's the gain and pain of running the E20 motor at 48V?
