[ARC5] Dynamotor Questions

[releazer at earthlink.net]

The idea to use half wave DC was just to avoid having to come up with a regulator.  I have a couple of 28VDC power supplies I built to run my ARC-114 and ARC-116 but they may be a bit low on current capability.  And my HP variable DC bench power supply has suddenly decided that it will not produce the full rated 200W 0-150 VDC output but rather more like 1.5 amp DC max.

By the way, I rewired a 21 VDC (not a typo, 21 VDC) dynamotor with the two primary wirings in parallel rather than series to see if it would provide half the output voltage on 12 VDC.  It worked to a limited degree, but only slightly better than just running it on 12 VDC without the rewiring.
