Hi all,
I appreciate this has been asked a few times but I can't seem to find a solution using the search function.
I have this motorand after watching this you tube video
I thought I knew what I was doing whenl bought the same rectifier and controller
The standard potentiometer was 500k and worked, but at 50% the motor was tearing a hole in space and time and more would trip the breaker, not really thinking I bought a cheap 200k pot like the guy in the vid, this popped the breaker as soon as power was supplied even at 0% so then tried a 1m potentiometer with the same spec as the original but that just trips the breaker as soon as power is supplied as well.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Ps. I'm no electronics expert, so think layman and them dumb it down a bit.
