currently i am running with a "120A" kelly controller and i am limiting the battery current to 50% in order to keep the motor from releasing the magic smoke. (2.5kW 10" hub motor)
i have the phase amps at around 50% and have some questions about the actual limits of the motor.
if i increased the phase amps to 100% would that cause problems? the battery current would stay below 60A (the battery is capable of MUCH more) but how would the motor respond to such treatment? would it simply burn out because of the high phase amps or would it just get hotter?
or would inceasing the battery amps and lovering the phase amps be better for the motor?
from reading around i cannot get a decent answer to this. the relationship between phase amps and battery amps are still a bit of black magic topic it seems.
