Can I use a normal UK mains 240v /12v transformer to power a 12V 150 watt golf trolley motor. (on workbench )?
Bizarre though it may sound, I am building a Christmas Window Display for my partner’s art gallery. It will feature penguins sking down a snow slope (that’s the easy bit) and then carried back to the top on a ski lift (that’s the harder part). I have a 12v 130 Watt golf trolly motor and axel that I plan to use to power the ski lift. I could power it with a trolley battery which I would have to re-charge from time to time, but would prefer to use a standard mains 120 v to 12 v transformer, I have one that powers 12V lighting. Does this sound reasonable or will it be incompatible with the motor ? Thanks
You could power this motor easily with a 12 volt transformer.
Being 130 watts, you would need a transformer with a rating of at least 15 amp to power this.
By using ohms law, watts-volts i get 10.83 amps ,So the Maplin transformers would be too weak.
I would opt for a 20 amp transformer that you would be able to get in a ham radio shop ,These are capable of producing heavy DC current for long periods without problems as they have a built in fan.,Heat being the main problem.
