Title: Maximun MP Power???
Post by: _GonZo_ on March 25, 2011, 10:43:50 PM

Well another question...

What is the maximum continuous power that can be get from a MP with out smoking it?

So I assume that none have explored the limits...

As per the GM web it is 1000W, the problem I see is then limited by the GM controllers to 500 to 700W input continuos power that may be around 350 to 525W axle power assuming around 70% efficiency system.

The thing is after heavy use does the motor heat up at that rates?

HI Gonzo...

No warranty implied,so don't blame me :) but ive been putting 2000W through it upa hill, no peddaling, about 2 minutes ,, got a little warm, but as for continuous operating power, will have to test a lot more

Thank you, that is a good start.

2 minutes at 2000W and only warm says that at least it can work at around 1200-1500W continuos.

At what voltage were you working the MP at that moments?
