M500 motor continuous operation
Hi All
I having been using some M200 motors for a couple of months I had to power small submersible 3d printed pumps I designed. The pumps work very well so I have just bought an M500 motor to make a larger version.
I notice that in the technical details of the M500, it says continuous full-throttle operation at 24 V should be limited to 1 minute or less to avoid overheating.
When using a Thruster Commander with an M500, the Thruster Commander heats up considerably very quickly.
The particular application I have for that the M500 motor requires that it runs more or less continuously at a constant amount of throttle so I have the following questions.
If I was using a 6s battery, what would be a safe amount of throttle to run continuously at?
If I was using a 4s, could I run at full throttle continuously with no harm to the motor?
Can a Thruster Commander handle continuous operation with either the 4s or 6s battery?
Hoping somebody can help.
