Question:

AC>DC output to run 24VDC / 5A motor.?

My motor draws 24VDC / 5A and runs off a lead acid battery. If I input 120VAC / 15A in a ACgt;DC power supply what does it out have to be to run the motor? I've been told an output of 24VDC / 5A is not enough.

Answer:

You were told right. Motors can draw more that rated current on start-up and when loaded down and power supply ratings are for resistive loads, which your motor isn't. I like to have a power supply with double the motor's running current if I can, or 10 amps. It will only take 2 amps 120VAC into the supply to get that much DC, so you're OK there.
Dear, Thank you, am also fine like you then dear based on application of precision select drive i.e. scr control drive also used but for variable speed drive else put transformer bridge rectifier without use filtering capacitor by put of current limit resistor suitable for 5a its wattage. Use secondary of transformer is 27v,7.5a
