This just doesn't make any sense. You (Novak) can specify a temperature (manufacturers guidance) that should not be exceeded, but you cannot not give your users/customers a tool or other information that will allow users/customers to meet that guidance/requirement. You are only providing information that results in users trying to guess if their motor is overheating.
So, your advice is, "Don't run it too hot", whatever that is. Just curious, what is your number for temperature which is not to be exceeded and is it different for each motor type/wind you produce?
