Determine efficiency, voltage, current from motor characteristic curves


I would to identify efficiency, voltage, current for a particular Brush less DC motor in our lab given characteristic curves.



Electrical specifications are


enter image description here


The operating conditions are


Torque: 0.35 N.m
RPM : 1200

Based on the operating condition, i drawed one more torque vs speed line (orange color) passing through 0.35 N.m & 1200 rpm and keeping slope constant.


To explain the image


Horizontal axis (X) : Torque (N.m)
Left Vertical axis : U(V) - Applied voltage - Light Blue color

I(A) - Current - Green color
P1(w) - Electrical power input - Dark Blue color
Right Vertical axis : n(r/min) - Revolution per min - Orange color
P2(w) - Mechanical power output - Red color
Eff(%) - Efficiency - Brown color

enter image description here


Unfortunately, i don't have better quality image. Please click on the image or Zoom the browser page to enlarge a bit more.


I have drawn few vertical and horizontal dashed lines(pink in color) passing through the operating point (0.35 N.m and 1200 rpm).


Question:



As the voltage vary the torque vs speed curves, does the efficiency curve vary ? what about the voltage and current ?


What are the approximate values in my case ?


Current = 8 Amps ?
Voltage = 15.00 or 17.50 V ?
Efficiency = 50 % ?

Thanks

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
