i recently picked up a 1 HP dc electric motor from a salvage yard, and i was planning on following a guide to convert my gas mower to electric. The only problem is, there is no posted schematic on my motor and the 4 wires coming out seem to be very thin gauge! no rpm posted, no voltage posted, only HP... my questions are:
1) is there a way to figure out the voltage?
2) what is the 4th blue wire for???
The motor is probably mid to late 1980's and about 5" diameter by 10" height.
My needs are a high voltage, low amp drawing motor to spin the mower blade. I just need to be able to figure out what type of batteries i can hook it up too w/o frying those wires! (6Volt, 12V...24V???) how can i figure this out?
Thanks for any tips...my first post
