HaroldinCR · 03-30-2009, 04:23 PM

I have a Shunt Wound, I think. It's a Starter-Generator motor from an aircraft. It's rated 30VDC at 500 amps, and 8000 RPM. I would like to run around 100 volts through it.

I have heard it's not easy to find a controller for that, except, maybe Kelly. A DIY would be nice to try.
