based on the level of my topic do you honestly think I dont understand power, amps, and torque?
Sometimes I move in and out of terms like I have a fluent audience but its ok to ask for clarification if you want to understand.
current and torque is almost an equality for the sake of our topic
efficiency-e-power in versus m-power out
acceleration-a change in speed per second per second
inertia-a resistance to change in speed
thermal time constant-heat dissipated per second
torque constant-unit of torque per amp
commutation (timing)-the relationship between the rotor and the sensors that changes over load, temperature and rpm.
peak (current)-for less than a second usually limited by the insulation of the stator
intermittant-usually a temperature limit for 10 seconds usually wrapped around the melting point of the insulation
continuous-the torque or power that a motor can do all day long
torque curve-x-y plot that visualizes efficiency, torque at an rpm, duty cycle, continuous, peak, power and rpm.
