I am not meaning to step on anyone's toes here but every ADC motor I have seen was a sep-ex motor. But all of them were externally wired as a series motor. They likely have made other kinds but I have not seen them. A true series motor would only have 2 terminals, the armature and the field would be connected inside the motor. I believe what Rich and Rod are really discussing is weather the field is a low voltage high current winding or a high voltage low current winding. If both ends of the armature and the field are brought to the outside of the motor it can be used as a sep-ex motor.

I have heard that it is some form of Sep-ex. If you can Actually say for certain that it is a Series, I would be Greatfull. Like have you seen it, and do we have motor curves for it???
