capacitors on dc motors

[StefanPienaar]

hi

does anyone perhaps know what size capacitors are used to block the radio interfierence that a DC motor produces when it runs?

its a 12v dc brushed motor

thanks

You are going to have to give additional details to get anyone to take the bait on this one...

AM radio? FM radio? Fixed speed motor? Varying speed in a control loop?

Try 0.01uf 100V ceramic

It's a motor that I want to use in a rc boat, it runs on 12 volts and the current draw in 4A

Doesn't change my recommendation in the slightest.
