Exactly why I'm making my 5KW, 0-2000 RPM "Electric Hubcap" motors to
use just 36 VDC. I was going to make them 120, but I figured I'd
electrocute myself before I was finished playing around with them. So
I rewired the 3 coils per phase to parallel instead of series:
(40+40+40=120 or 40:40:40=40 -- close enough to 36).
Operating currents are of course triple instead.
