Compound-wound motors can act in some counterintuitive ways. The two magnetic fields fight each other to produce torque _and_ push down the field current. If the armature is weak you won't get the torque you need, and the field current rises to ridiculous levels. Double whammy. Ohm's law (the short form) doesn't really apply to motors. There are entire college courses on things like motors. AC vector analysis, magnetic saturation curves, etc. I've forgotten most of it by now. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
