I'm a mechanical engineer selecting a DC motor. I have the values for rated continuous operation, but I would like to have a ball-park figure for "almost" peak power consumed (which can only be sustained for a few seconds).
I realize that absolute Peak Torque is when the motor is stalled. For my purpose, that is useless, and I would like to have a vague estimate for what the power consumed would be at, say, a few hundred rpm, at almost peak torque
I have a peak current of 400A, a Peak Power of 25.38 kW, a DC armature resistance of 17.5mOhms and a Speed Constant of 50rpm/V
Are there any ways of working this out simply? Or any general rule-of thumbs?
Many thanks for reading this
