PACIFIC SCIENTIFIC, Permanent magnet DC motor.
1 1/2 hp
110 VDC
11.6 Amps
3,200 RPM
Continous Duty


If I look at the wattage of the servo, 110VDC @ 11.6 amps, that is
1,276 watts.

But, if I look at it with the max voltage from my power supply, it is
76 volts time 11.6 amps = 881 watts.

For 881, I could use 2 transformers to get 2,000 watts, that is light
for one calculation, and heavy for the other.

I had thought there was some number one could use for duty cycle as
the motors are not driven DC, but pulsed.....

I'll go back and re-read Jon's post. IIRC, it was more guidelinesh
than calculations.
