lordedmond:
Paul you don't need to let on you know how it works just hope he don't read this forum.
John will fix you up
The controllers do not output AC just lumpy DC 😳
Good luck and be safe remember you cannot see it nor can you smell it but you can feel it
Has as been said unless the magic smoke was let out of the motor you should be ok

That first picture refers to the machine the motor is fitted to ! The third one is the motor specifications.
Your expert is both blind and stupid.
pmdevlin:
went back, as arranged, he had shut up shop and gone! Now I know its New Years Eve and all that, but he knew I was coming back, he could have just rung me, so he got the voicemail from Satan himself!
I've told him (and will ring him after holiday) he has cooked the motor, and I want the controller back, assuming he has done nothing as I could see it through the window in exactly the same place I left it :hammer:
I've put 12v on the motor, don't have a 24v source, it was def trying to turn, Stripped it again, cant see any damage or evidence of burning, no smell, nothing out of the ordinary, maye I have been lucky!
Happy New Year, nad a massive thanks to all contributors to this thread

Is your 12v supply portable? You could try hooking it up to your car battery to give you 24v...(just be careful not to short anything out.... :zap:)
Otherwise you could use your battery in conjunction with a 12v bulb wired in series to prove the continuity of the windings by going across each pair of segments on the comm....
Shout up if you need a bit more of an explanation....
Off to the electronics section now to read replies on my pc issue... :doh:
pmdevlin:
picking the controller up in a few days, After lengthy phone conversation, he has agreed if I can prove its a dc motor (well its got a sticker on the can!) he will take responsibility.
To be fair, I will do Johns test on the motor, so, just need an idiots guide as to how to do this! I assume if bulb goes out on any segment, then the motor is actually duff?
