I have a question pertaining to reducing the voltage to the heater motor. I have a reducer in the line now that looks like a long cylindrical and hollow ceramic tube. It states on it... Clarostat VP-

well it sounds to me if you put a few more of those resisters on and have the fan blow on them you should be toastee warm... lol oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 195

It's probably working right, hot is a very subjective term but they do get exteremely warm. Amp draw on my fresh air (a 12 V motor) was about 4 amps as I recall. That's 16 watts when drawn through a

so if you conected a ohm meter on the two wires on the fan would that give you your resistance. or one wire to ground of the motor casing...is that the resistance of your fan motor? not an electricia

Appears to me that the resistor is rated 50 watts going by the numbers. Even at its rating of 50 watts, the resistor would be extremely warm. Brad Rusnak b_rusnak@telusplanet.net 1949 Chev 1/2 Ton De

Not quite. DC motors can act as both motors and generators. When the motor is at rest it will draw it's maximum current and will also be at its max torque, that is the amount of torque that it takes

Napa/Echlin makes neat little voltage reducers (PNVT6187) which you can wire in parallel or series, depending on the amp load you have to handle. As I recall, they're not expensive. Regards, Grant S.

Given that this is a 12 volt system (else why have the dropping resistor) the maximum current would be 12 amps, even if the resistance provided by the motor was zero. Continuing on, Power(in Watts) =

Bill knows his math. NOPE. P is the variable we are looking for I (current, is a max of 12) E (voltage, is also a max of 12) So, P=12*12 P=144 watts Or, use the equation that Bill used, P=I^2*R P=12

Tektronix (www.tek.com) makes several. The one I use is an A622 which I borrow from work from time to time. It plugs into a standard digital mulitimeter and works quite nicely. It loses some resolut
