Hey, man I know you have much better things to do with your time. I really appreciate you taking the time to help this dummy out. Although I did get it through some trial and error, I fortunately had the circuit breaker on there because you said it needed to be there. You were the only one breaking this stuff down in a way for me to understand how to do this conversion. I appreciate all the help you put out there. Thanks man

@@dazecars When you say "power supply" what exactly are you talking about? I want to supply power a DC treadmill motor with 120V AC wall current.
@dazecars
@dazecars 3 месяца назад
that is what a power supply does. It takes 110 AC power and converts it to something else. I have tons of videos on my channel on how to power treadmill motors.

Another great application for bridge rectifiers is to convert cheap arc welders into DC Electrode Negative (DCEN) which almost eliminates welding spatter from flux core welds. There's lots of YT tutorials on it, most also using large capacitors, but I did the bare bones conversion with just the rectifier and now my janky 90amp 110VAC welder can compete with a good MIG welder.

I guess Im a little confused by what you’re referring to when saying “burning up your power supply” in the event the rectifier has a diode short. Are you referring to a SCR controller or possibly a variac?
@dazecars
@dazecars 11 месяцев назад
Any AC power supply, Variac or SCR. when a rectifer fails it is effectivly like connecting the two power leads coming from the SCR together shorting out the SCR. Same would be true of the Varic

Hi, I have found your video's the most informative of all I've looked at here on yt. I followed your directions and completed a treadmill motor conversion on my lathe, it works flawlessly. TY I was given a motor and control board by a friend that has a completely different electrical setup. The board is a "B017D" and I do not know what I need or where I make connections to get this running. I would like to use it on my ban saw. Can you offer any help, you are without doubt much better educated in electronics than I. A google search on the board will give you a very good picture of possible connections I can use.

Why do you need an extra potentiometer if the Scr has one or am I mistaken?
@dazecars
@dazecars Год назад
The one in the SCR is oversized for most treadmill projects. Most SCRs come with a 500K potentiometer and for 110 usually 120K-150K is what is needed. You can use the 500K unit but you will need to turn the potentiometer 2/3 of its travel before the motor will come on which only leave 1/3 for total speed control. I use two different sizes of potentiometers for my projects so I have fine and coarse speed control. I cover all of this in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-04d0u1RJyXw.html

wondering if you can help me i bought the 4000 w scr speed controller and pack of 4 bridge rectifiers number 5010 to hook up to a treadmill motor so i tried it out on a little 18 volt cordless drill motor and the thing blew out a bunch of sparks ...i thought the rectifier was to bring voltage down to 12 volt ? so i didn't try it on treadmill motor didn't want to blow it out what did i do wrong ? i hooked 120v into scr controller and out to bridge rectifier to ac clip and parallel clip i seen it done a few times then motor to other 2 parallel clips and bang
@dazecars
@dazecars Год назад
The SCR controls volts and puts out between 0 and 110 V AC. The rectifier converts AC too DC. It is not a 12V converter. That SCR will be too small for a treadmill motor, you will burn the SCR up. Also your rectifiers are likely too small.

@@dazecars i seen the videos where they bought 10.000 and they said it was to big and they had to turn the knob over half way before the treadmill motor would turn they said 4000 would be a better scr and i'm gonna order the bigger bridge rectifier that you showed on this video but what scr would you recommend and Thank you for your reply gonna use the treadmill motor as a powerfeed for tablesaw

​@@GeraldMcneill What are you trying to do? With a DC motor voltage effects speed. Yes you can power a 100V DC motor with a 12 volt DC power supply but it will be slow (relative to max speed)

Hey Treadmill guy, question, I’m hooking up a 4 hp, 30amp treadmill motor for my lathe, I’m using all the components you are suggesting Larger rectifier, 20 amp breaker , potentiometer you suggested. I have a problem with the breaker popping as I turn it up, my wire plug in is 16 gauge, all my other wires are 12 gauge , or 20 amp rating. Do I need some kind of transformer to allow me to reach 30amps from a 110 house outlet? I think the motor is drawing more than the system can handle, thus popping the breaker. Thx Rich , great videos ! 11:10

I am running 25 amp motor on my lathe with no issues. First thing I would look for is a physical issue. Something binding, turn all moving parts by hand including the motor shaft. What is the RPM rating of the motor? are you using any gearing?
@richbulger9710

Just bench testing motor, no load on motor yet, checking rotation seems to be ok no drag, 4.0 hp, 4000 rpm, 90 volts, 30 amps

Does the 30 amp rating , mean it will draw 30 amp, that’s why it’s popping?
