Yes, its full torque, as in all the torque the motor will ever make at the
controllers current limit. For a Prestolite MTC-4001 that would be 64
ft/lbs at 400 amps.

The difference will be the rpm. At 10 volts you might come out of current
limit at 200rpm, at 100 volts perhaps 3200rpm

Oh, at 1000 volts most of the motors we use will make NO torque. Just
commutator flashover and rapid spontanious dissasembly. Of course you will
let all the smoke out of your inverters too <g>
