Hello,

I've been messing around in FEMM but the BL^2/Re value I'm getting seems to be too high. I was hoping someone who has a lot of experience with FEMM could verify if my figures seem correct.

You can see the FEMM graphs in the attached photos. The motor is not that big but as you can see the BL^2/Re figure is quite large for both of them.
