Just a quick question here. What is the "best/correct" temperature for a motor to run. The reason that I am asking is that I had an temperature problem on my way down to the Ohio show a few weeks back. In talking to many knowledgeable people I was told that it is not unusual for a motor to run 230, and in some instances it is almost better for the motor to run at a higher temperature.

So which is it ? Is a low temp (and what is that low temp) better for the motor, or is a higher temp (and how high really should it go) better for the motor.
