Lehner motor timing

[oscarel]

I was going over the Lehner charts and noticed this "rpms are determined with 15° timing" and also the rpm ratings are based on delta (triangle) configuration. Also noted in the FAQ section is this

Which motor timing value should I use?
This depends on the load (small load - low timing / heavy load - high timing).
A "compromise" clock value would be 10º - 15º.

I'm currently running a 3080/8 in delta(triangle) at 2º which looks like it's way below what's suggested by LMT. What are those with these motors running???

This is in Delta, correct Tyler? What would you be running if in Y?

15-20Deg

Thanks Tyler!! And congrats on the speed record!!!! You need to update your signature :-)

Yes Thanks I will, but I am still recovering.

15-20 for Delta
20-22 for Wye

These are estimates based on what I have recently seen. I would lower those numbers for motors that run longer than 1 minute. SAW motors can use slightly higher timing.
