Question : 24 volt power supply for testing old wheelchair motors?
I am looking for recommendations on what kind of power supply I need to use for testing DC motors I removed from old wheelchairs. They will be used for robotics projects but I need to test projects using a stable source of power (not batteries). If you have any experience in this and have any suggestions it would help. Thanks I am currently looking at this supply. Any issues with 3 amps instead of 5? Batteries are not feasible at this stage. I know there are lots of different choices out there, which is why I am asking for suggestions. http://www.powersupplydepot.com/productview.asp?product=14605+PS

Answer:
Take two old car automotive chargers and connect them in series. Don't use a newer one with fancy regulators or LEDs on the front. A typical 24 motor in a wheel chair will draw more than 5 amps under load. You said you wanted a stable supply, so make some initial tests with an ammeter and them make sure the supply is good for at least two times the average load. The free running load will teach you very little. Try using a 20 amp fuse from the hardware store for protection until you get he entire circuit going. Then a good bet is the circuit breakers used in Cars. JC Whitney has a very useful $10 ammeter that's used to test alternators, so you can tell how much load you are putting on the supply. Start with 10 gage wires. Electric wheelchairs typically go 8 mph max and have 12" dia pneumatic tires mounted directly to the output shaft of the gearbox.
