Video: How to Connect a PMDC Gearmotor to a Filtered PWM DC Speed Control

Video: How to Connect a PMDC Gearmotor to a Filtered PWM DC Speed Control

In this new How-To video, we are demonstrating how to connect a 130VDC, two-wire PMDC gearmotor to a Bodine WPM PMDC motor speed control powered from a 115VAC/60Hz/1-phase line. In this example, we used a Bodine stock model 6071, type 33A-HG/H, 130VDC hollow shaft gearmotor, powered by a 0-130VDC (out), type WPM Speed control item
