What will happen if 6V is applied to a 12V motor?
This can be easily determined by uncoupling the motor from any mechanical load and giving the full 12VDC, then measuring the DC current. Then couple it to it’s load and again apply the full 12 VDC and measure the current. the one thing that most answerers got right is that the motor with 6VDC applied will run at hal Nothing will happen basically.
What is the difference between a 6v and 12V battery?
Super 6V vehicle: Super 6V vehicles have two motors and gearboxes, but only one 6V power wheels battery. The red battery is for use with Super 6V vehicles that require a 6V, 9.5 Ah lead-acid battery. 12V vehicle: 12V vehicles have two motors, two gearboxes, and two 6V power wheels batteries.
Can you run a 12 volt motor on a 12-volt alternator?
Sure you can run a 12 volt DC motor connected to a 12 volt DC alternator to charge a battery, but why would you want to go through all that trouble when you could just charge the battery with the 12-volt source you are running the motor with.
Can I run a 24V motor on a 12V supply?
If your goal is to run the 24V motor at reduced rpm but with higher torque than you'll get at 12 volts, instead use a 24 volt PCM DC motor controller, powered by a 24V power supply. It will allow you to reduce the RPM to whatever you want between ~20% to 100% RPM, and provide higher torque than you will get from lowering the supply voltage.
Can you run a 12 volt motor on a 6 volt battery?
If you give a 6 V to 12 V motor, the motor will run at half of its rated speed and the Torque will also reduce.
Can a 12 volt DC motor run 6 volts?
Same as with the motor, if you provide 6 V to 12 V motor, your motor will run on half of its rated speed and the torque will also reduce.
What happens when you put 12v to a 6V motor?
Nothing will happen basically. The motor will be making humming sound and will start to vibrate a lot. For long run, such over rated voltage will hamper its performance.
Can I run a 12v motor on 5v?
Probably not. The motor will not have much torque, if any. Depending on the motor size the current draw will go up and is likely to be more than the charger can supply. 5Vdc is less than 1/2 the expected drive voltage of 12Vdc.
How do I reduce 12 volts to 6 volts?
The answer is actually quite simple. All you need to do is connect the two wires from the 12 volt to the two wires from the 6 volt resistor. Then, you need to connect the ground wire from the 12 volt to the ground wire from the 6 volt resistor. That's it!
Can you run a DC motor on AC power?
We already know that in a DC Series motor the field winding has very less resistance than a DC Shunt Motor as the field is connected in series with the Armature Winding. So if we give AC supply on a DC Series Motor it will run perfectly. In fact, DC Series can run on both AC and DC supply.
Can you use a 12v power adapter on a 6V product?
– Yes, they are likely interchangeable even though voltage is not the same. This is because the voltage difference is within specs, and I am GUESSING you could go even higher or lower in voltage.
Can you use a 12 volt coil on a 6 volt system?
You can run a 1.5 ohm "12 volt coil" on a 6 volt car without a ballast resistor and it will run great. Some "12 volt coils" read out at about 3 ohms and can really only be used on a 12 volt car. The spark out of this "12 volt coil" when used on a 6 volt car will be very weak.
Can a 6V motor run on 9V?
You can run a 6V motor at 9V -- it will run faster but won't last as long.
Will a 12V motor run on 9V?
It's possible to run a 12V motor on 9V, but it will run slower and with less Torque.
Can I run a 12V motor on 24v?
If you were to run a 12v motor off a 24v battery the stall current could then be excessive if it weren't limited by the controller. Therefore, provided you chose a controller suitable for the motor you use, you can usually run a motor 12v motor from a 24v battery with no effect except that full speed is doubled.
Can a battery charger run a DC motor?
These battery chargers need some voltage to enable the charging circuit. You can only use this charger to drive the motor if the voltage detection circuit is bypassed. Highly active question.
Can a 6V motor run on 9V?
You can run a 6V motor at 9V -- it will run faster but won't last as long.
Can you use a 12v power adapter on a 6V product?
– Yes, they are likely interchangeable even though voltage is not the same. This is because the voltage difference is within specs, and I am GUESSING you could go even higher or lower in voltage.
How do you tell the difference between a 6 volt and 12 volt battery?
A 6-volt battery is small, while a 12-volt battery is larger. The second way to tell the size of a lawnmower battery is by looking at the amp hours. This is the amount of energy the battery can store. The higher the amp hours, the larger the battery.
What happens if a 12 volt motor is not capable of supply current?
If the 12 volts supply is not capable of supply the current, the motor will initially spin but may eventually pull the voltage down, ,,,
What would happen if a motor was over voltage?
The motor would produce more power , but that would be gained at the expense of greater stresses of all sorts. The commutators would arc and burn, the windings would become much hotter than intended, the bearings would be under more pressure, the insulation would certainly be closer to its breakdown point, and the condition of the machine would steadily get worse the longer the over voltage was maintained.
How is motor torque proportional to armature voltage?
Motor speed is proportional to armature voltage (in this case the applied voltage) and inversely proportional to field current. Motor torque is proportional to both armature current and field current. In motors that have field windings, the field current can be increased to provide more torque, but the trade off is that this will lower the motor speed for a given armature voltage. In industry, on infrequent occasions, the field current will be boosted to get the motor started and then reduced to obtain the desired top speed. Since this motor likely does not have field windings, we can ignore the variables surrounding field excitation and assume a constant excitation from the permanent magnet.
What would happen if commutators arc?
The commutators would arc and burn, the windings would become much hotter than intended , the bearings would be under more pressure, the insulation would certainly be closer to its breakdown point, and the condition of the machine would steadily get worse the longer the over voltage was maintained.
What happens if you overrate a motor?
Nothing will happen basically. The motor will be making humming sound and will start to vibrate a lot. For long run, such over rated voltage will hamper its performance. Basically, the voltage may not cause a problem suddenly. But if the current is exceeded than the rated current, then the motor may blow out.
How many volts does a series wire give?
If you hook them in series so they both discharge (i.e. plus to minus) then the voltage will add to give about 36 volts.
How many times does 180 watts increase heat?
An increase of 180 watts at the same efficiency ( unlikely) you will have 4 times the heat.
Which is faster, 12V or 6V?
A 12V Power Wheels car is generally faster than a 6V one because it has more power output than the 6v one. Check out this post for a more detailed answer
What is a power wheel converter?
The converter is the device that manages the current between the motor and the battery. Most Power Wheels cars have the motor connected to the battery through a DC-DC converter.
What does it mean to upgrade a power wheel?
Upgrading a Power Wheels car often means increasing its power output, resulting in a higher top speed. You may want to change the battery to a higher voltage one or buy a higher-rated motor.
Can a 12V battery be fed to a 12V converter?
It can do this in both directions, too, which means that if you have a 12V battery and want to power something requiring only a lower voltage, this converter will help feed your battery with just enough current required to power that device.
Do you need to upgrade your Power Wheels battery?
You may need to upgrade your batteries because there is no way to increase the power output from an actual Power Wheels battery designed for powering only at a single voltage or current rating.
Can a 6 volt DC converter work with 12 volt batteries?
As noted earlier, though, some 6-volt DC-DC converters work just fine with 12-volt batteries. So if you don’t care much about the converter and the entire unit, you might just go ahead and use the converter and see if it works.
Can you connect a 12 volt battery to a 6 volt motor?
You don’t want to connect a 12-volt battery directly to a 6-volt motor. You will need to get a motor that is rated at 12 volts. Plus, you will need to change the car’s wiring so that it uses a 12-volt current.
Which is more durable, 12 volt or 6 volt?
6 volt lamps were said to be more durable than 12 volt, esp if subject to a lot of vibration as on a truck or tractor.
What happens if the wire size from the battery is smaller than for the 6 V condition?
If the wire size from the battery is smaller than for the 6 V condition this will reduce the voltage at the motor a little. Also the battery internal resistance will be higher on a 12 V battery of the same physical size as the 6 V battery.
Is RPM proportional to voltage?
RPM is proportional to voltage. so going from 6 to 12 volts would leave you to believe the RPM would double, but it will not. Torque is proportional to current, and maximum torque and current is at 0 RPM a decays pretty much at a linear rate until max RPM is reached.
Is torque higher with higher flux?
On the basis that the motor current is higher, then torque is higher, field flux is higher (both higher field flux density and higher armature current contribute to this higher torque). At higher flux density for a fixed armature voltage the the speed will be slower, but the armature voltage also goes up.
Charging times
Both 6v and 12v batteries, require an initial charge time and subsequent charges after regular usage. The charge times vary depending on which you choose:
Battery type
6V power wheel’s batteries are sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries. These are rechargeable, recyclable, maintenance-free, leakproof, and can be used in any position.
Age Range
The power wheels range of vehicles are suitable from 1-10 years old depending on the voltage, model, and driver’s weight.
Weight Limits
Both 6V and 12V batteries come with a thermal fuse built in. This is, in effect, a safety device installed, so if the vehicle becomes overloaded it will trip, which in turn stops the vehicle.
Speed
The maximum speed of each power wheels vehicle varies greatly depending on the terrain/surface the power wheels vehicle is being used on.
Indoor or Outdoor?
Depending on where your child will be using the power wheels vehicle and the space available to them, will depend on whether 6V or 12V is more suitable.
One Seat or Two?
Generally, the 6V power wheels come with a single seat, because of lower power of the battery. The 12V can come with one or two seats depending on the age of the riders and combined weight.
