Hi all, new to the site and need help. I am not an electrician and have only a basic understanding of how things electric work, with that said, on to my problem. I have a Leeson permanent magnet gearmotor that I want to run with rectified ac power. The specs on the motor are as follows,
volts 130
amps .46
h.p. .044 kw
duty S1
torque 23 lb in.
RPM 139
I bought a full wave bridge rectifier, 400v 8a, and when wired to 120ac, I measured 108vdc output. When I wired my motor to it, it ran but smoke immediately came from the motor. What do I need to make this motor run on 120ac?
