Long story short I am wondering if we would need to have Jim Husted at
Hi-Torque do some serious preventative measures if one were to head north
of 500+
motor amps in the 6.7" class?
Not much Jim can do about higher motor amps. More amps means more heat, so
the deciding factor is usually the heat rating on the insulation of the
wire. Bigger motors can take more amps, because they have more thermal mass
to begin with. If you provide adequate cooling you can push as many amps
through the motor as you want. Generally using a good blower and ducting
the air through the motor is the easiest fix.
