Walt K was the guy who really KNEW these motors. Not sure if he was still
around. Back when i was working on a curtis design this came up. At that
time he said that the field should never use any more than 2-4 amps
(E15-E20). So i simply ran 36V to the field, and put a 4a fuse on it.
Never had any issue ever. Motor always ran at its proper RPM and never got
hot on me even when plowing.
So if i read you right, sending a possible 45 amps to the field seems WAY
out of spec and i would be concerned.
