I would like to re-purpose a treadmill motor, basic specs. 90 V DC and 2.5 HP.
I would like to run this motor from standard 120vac, I only require one speed at the nominal ratings, simple on/off.
I have an electronics education/background but am quite rusty as I have been out of the field for some time.
Any suggestions for a simple, low component count circuit. I was thinking a simple bridge rectifier circuit but not sure of the best way to control the DC down to 90 V DC. I am not sure how it is done in the treadmill motor controllers.
Thanks,
MES
