BASE_CURRENT and CurrentSet Variables in BLDC codes

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8312

In BLDC codes (BLDC_Sensored, BLDC_Sensorless), the variable BASE_CURRENT is set to 8.6. What is this for? I am using DRV8312-C2 Kit. DRV8312 has a maximum continuous phase current of 6.5 A. Shouldn't the BASE_CURRENT be set to 6.5 instead of 8.6?

Is the variable CurrentSet related to BASE_CURRENT? Say I set the CurrentSet to 0.1 PU (i.e. 1677721), is that equivalent to 0.1 * BASE_CURRENT?
