Ac motors
Thought I would start this thread on the option of using AC motors in a dc system. Dont know what the implications are so can anyone help clarify this. Have seen some AC motors but they dont have magnets, they have a coil on the outside as well. Will they runbackwards. Is it a waste of time or not. If an ac motor at 240 volts is only 125 watts does that mean that at 24 volts its 12.5 watts/less or does DC power change that. Are there any advantage or is it a bad idea? _________________ Bots that do not destroy you, only make you stronger.
