The effect of temperature on motor current
Thread Content
When using a winch to lift a 300 KG object, is the current flow the same when operating in winter at zero degrees Celsius and in summer at 46 degrees Celsius?
The current should not change much
The current should not differ much; the difference in temperature only affects the cooling of the winch. At 0 degrees, the motor cools well, but at 46 degrees, if the motor is overloaded for an extended period, its insulation can be damaged!
