[My personal knowledge on this is from the past, so I hope others with more current information will respond]
>From what I remember back when I was talking to Otmar about the 9" ADC DC motor in my 2ton S-10 Blazer was that if the effective voltage at the motor was kept no higher than 144V, arcing/fireballing would be minimal. Because of some pack voltage drop on EV components, a 156VDC pack could be used if after a full charge the performance demands were kept at a minimum (easy on the accelerator) until some of the 156VDC pack's surface voltage had been burnt off (pack voltage would drop off after a few miles). It is my understanding that because of that voltage limitation, the performance EV crowd (i.e.: the fine folk at nedra.com ) have made a market for other motors that can handle higher pack voltages. I suggest you explore https://www.google.com/search?q=WarP+9+HV Though I am not recommending this EV business, its page http://www.evsource.com/tls_warp9.php has a chart that states motors that are in the voltage range you are seeking. If no one responds to your post, I also recommend you talk to the nedra racers. {brucedp.150m.com} On Fri, Jan 9, 2015, at 02:59 PM, Bill Dennis via EV wrote: > Can a 9-inch ADC motor handle being run at 178 volts nominal? - -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/9-Inch-ADC-Motor-Max-Voltage-tp4673404p4673411.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
