My 6.6 actually came looking pretty on point… didn’t have to fix any of them
I’m guessing you’re mistaking the outside diameter of the insulation and the chart you’re looking at is just for the actual copper.
Most motors I’ve seen are 12awg.
Right. There’s no way it’s 7 AWG. I don’t think I have even seen motors with 10 AWG. Typically it’s 12 AWG or even 14 AWG.
10 or even 12 should be fine for your purpose
Thank you guys for the help, I will stick with the 10 Gauge
Note that the current through the phase wires is sinusoidal in FOC mode. So using .707 as a factor is fine for picking motor wire gauge. That number converts to RMS.
So for example. If you’re choosing a wire and you say 60a is max, then you really only need a wire that can do .707*60 =42 amps
Pretty sure that’s true anyway. Maybe somebody knows for sure. I’m just inferring
That said. I personally just have 10awg and 14awg on hand and use whatever is more appropriate, erring on the side.of too big.
I member the time i made a battery pack for my bud, using 8awg series connection so it could take a punch. Then we ordered a makerx mini and it had 14, i really wanted to cry.
7awg is bigger than the 5.5mm connector without insulation haha
do you rewind stators too?
Not SK3s or SK8s
But yeah I’ve been known to…
The epoxy over-coat on the SKs makes the job untenable…
Always wanted to wind a motor from scratch, no idea what for
How long does it take on average?
Your first one will take for-fucking-ever…
But after practice it only takes a couple of hours to pack all the copper in there gUud-n-tight. And terminate it properly
Getting the wire off the stator, on some motors is often times more difficult that the actual rewinding
Dunk the whole thing in an etching solution.
Dissolve the copper and the core remains.
The dispose of several liters of toxic waste
Your dino dildo antenna will be simulated tonight btw. Took too long to generate the solid last night
If i could figger out a cheep, easy method of reinsulating the stator core i’d be in like flynn!
How do they insulate that core anyway, is it powdercoat!?
Naaah it must be a dip right?
It’s some sort of high-temp epoxy or sumpin’…
Yeah but they dip that? Or how do they do that, maybe we can st34l it xD
Im getting some motors in from @PixelatedPolyeurthan soon and im quite interested in the rewiring stuffs.
