CROWD FORCE CONTROL IN ELECTRICALLY PROPELLED WORK MACHINE

摘要

A method of operating an electrically propelled work machine (10) includes the steps of, operating an electrical power source (14) for the work machine (10), and limiting an output torque of an electrical propulsion motor (20) of the work machine (10) based upon the occurrence of a crowd force condition of the work machine (10). An electrically propelled work machine (10) is further provided, including an electronic controller (40) having means for limiting motor output torque based at least in part on a crowd force condition of the work machine (10).
