Re: Parallel Motor Connection
I took a look at the motor specs, and I'm puzzled why we can run two window motors off of a speed controller, but not two globe motors.
The window motor's free current is about 2 amps, and stall current is about 25 amps.
The globe motor's free current is about 1 amp, and stall current is about 19 amps.
I had assumed that the rule was because the globe motor was a more powerful motor and 2 could exceed the rating of the speed controller when they stalled. However, the stall current would still be less then the 40 amps rating of the speed controller and certainly less then 2 window motors.
However, since that isn't the case, I don't understand the intent of the ruling, and can't give you good advice about a window and globe motor combined. So, this is definetly something to ask FIRST.
