7.2 Motor Phase Current and Power Settings
Basic Setup tab
There are motor power and current limits distinct from the battery current limits
(covered in 6.4 Battery Limits).
“Max Power Limit” puts an upper limit on the total watts that will be allowed to
flow into the hub motor. This value has a similar effect to a battery current limit,
but it is dependent on voltage. A value of 2000 Watts will limit battery current to
27 amps with a 72V pack, while allowing over 40 amps with a 48V pack.
In addition to regulating the current flowing in and out of the battery pack the
Baserunner V6 can independently control the maximum phase currents that flow
between the controller and motor. It is this motor phase current that both
generates torque and causes the motor windings and motor connector to heat
up. At low motor speeds this phase current can be many times higher than the
current flowing in or out of the battery.
“Max Phase Current” determines the peak amps, and hence torque, put through
the motor while accelerating at full throttle assuming no other limits are reached.
