They have stated 400A for 5 minutes, so 335 is maybe 10 or 15 minutes? Not sure, but I'd like to know.

Kevlar banding wont take much above 250c because the bonding agent melts which would immediately thrash motor. I haven't heard of that ERGO: comm stays below 250c.
Excellent information. That banding is on the armature, and holds the rotor bars in, right? Or is that also used on the commutator?

Have fun. I think you want to do this in 12v increments. Runaway dc motors are not exciting for long.
I am going to stick with 24V for now, without a DC controller.

When I can put a DC controller in there, the idea is to go to 125VDC and feed both the DC controller and AC controller from the same battery pack. Then I hope to test at 3000 - 4000 rpm, where the PWM looks more like AC to my metering equipment.

Neither the DC controllers (that are broken) nor the AC controller (that I'm testing) will take 1000+ amps for long, but I'd like to SEE!
