I'm working on a project for my model railroad and I would like some help.
I have a locomotive with a DC motor that runs it. This motor is powered by a power supply that ranges from 0-12VDC to control the speed of the train. The DC motor can pull as much as 1.5A.
Also in the locomotive is...
Ok, that might explain it. I tried both configurations and it seemed that neither one would act as theory suggests (parallel: they would run slower than they did alone; series: one would run faster than the other). I'll look into a higher rated PSU, thanks for the help.
So hooking them up in parallel will allow both fans to run at full speed?
In series, would they both run at half speed?
I can always get a new AC-DC adapter than can handle the increased current if need be.
[Edit] I know its an obvious question, but I'm unsure because they are motors that...
I'm working on a project that needs to power two electric motors (PC case fans). These fans are rated 12V - 0.3 A. The power source is a AC-DC adapter that outputs 12V and rated for 0.3A.
My question is simple: should I wire these motors in series or parallel maximum their speed?
I have a...
