The above data are the theoretical values when the input voltage is 48V, for reference only. In the case of room temperature of 25°C and no additional cooling device, the current over 50A is non-working zone, 16-50A is short-term (about 10-30s) working zone, and below 16A is sustainable working zone. In actual use, control the motor running time according to the working environment temperature and heat dissipation conditions.
420KV (6S) Measurement Notes
The data were measured with an input voltage of 24 V, at a temperature of 25°C and sea level. The rotational speed was adjusted by the throttle.
