    power supply voltage for motors

    I currently have KL34H2160 - 1810ozin & a KL34H2120 - 1200ozin, running on KL6520 - 65V, 20A power supply. By the equation V=32*I(mH)^0.5 (per Gecko data) I get 71.5V & 80V for the two motors respectively. Am I correct to assume that I could run both of those motors at 72V (KL7220) safely instead of at the 65V I have them at now?

    Thanks for any help.

    Depends on the drive. What drives are you using?

    Saw in another thread you have Gecko 203Vs. You can run the motors at 72V.
