    rewinding series lap wound dc motor armature question

    A fools mission, how dare you, lol joking aside of course you are correct I'll source a couple of the motors I'm going to use dismantle, take pictures, measurements and find as much information as I can, motor manufactures don't normally release that much detailed information though. I was just...

    rewinding series lap wound dc motor armature question

    Thanks, wanted to make sure, thing is starers are in a world of there own abit, not sure now blanced the windings are to start, should the number of winds on each pole (4 pole) match the number of total winds added for 1-4 of the armature or close to? just that I know that the 4 field are in...

    rewinding series lap wound dc motor armature question

    The idea is to mod a 4-5 kw starter for increased voltage (lower rpm/v) and decreased current with a longer duty. Field windings are easy on a starter as they are meant to be replaced (adding 1/3 to the field windings?), the problem is limitation on voltage in the armature, what about having...

    DC Series Motor, armature designs

    Thanks you have helped me understand more, This is what I'm finding it hard to understand, as starters get larger you have more comm segments and therefor more parallel circuits, this is to handle more current not voltage, but will increase flux and voltage handling surely, if so why don't...

    DC Series Motor, armature designs

    Good point a starter draws as much curent as the bat can supply, and a say golf cart has 200A ish cuttent limiter. Do you know what the relation ship between the armature and the field windings are? I was under the inpresion that they are blanced or had the same resistence and cuttent draw, If...

    apologies for the atrocious spelling makes for even harded reading!

    DC Series Motor, armature designs

    Hello, I hope some one can explane this to me as I'd likr to learn, The question is, take a large 12v starter motor and the armature is singel thick gauge, take a say 48v golf cart motor it's armature is also singel thick gauge, infact I find it hard to tell them apart, also both are four pole...
