Coreless Motors (Kato 11-109) and PWM?
Posted by tbdanny on Thursday, December 14, 2023 1:13 PM
I'm looking at building a HOn30 micro-layout, using locomotves running on the Kato 11-109 chassis and pulse width modulation DC power. This chassis has a coreless motor, and I've found conflicting advice regarding using coreless motors with PWM.
 
Will PWM power damage these motors?

The Location: Forests of the Pacific Northwest, Oregon
The Year: 1948
The Scale: On30

I am working on the same with those same chasis.  Havent come accross PWm  thing.  then again, I am following the advice from places like 009 society.   That would be the place to ask actually.

An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel

A realist sees a frieght train

An engineer sees three idiots standing on the tracks stairing blankly in space
