Notes: All current ratings are rms values per motor phase. Internal algorithms automatically reduce maximum current limit when
heatsink temperature is >85°C or battery voltage is outside the allowed limits. Heatsink temperature is measured internally
near the power MOSFETs.
2-minute ratings are based on an initial controller heatsink temperature of 25°C and a maximum heatsink temperature
of 85°C. No addtitional external heatsink is used for the 2-minute rating test.
1-hour ratings are based on an ambient temperature of 25°C with the controller mounted to a heatsink with a thermal
resistance of 0.35°C/W for the 1236, or 0.25°C/W for the 1238, operating at a maximum baseplate temperature of 85°C.
These thermal resistances are approximately equivalent to a 0.5m × 0.5m × 8mm thick vertical steel plate in free air with
6kph airflow on one side.
