Okay, so I have this motor and it is powered by a 24VDC power supply,
and I would like to vary the voltage going to this motor. This motor
draws 0.4A with 24V. I understand that connecting a pot normally to
this motor will burn out the pot rather quickly, so one must use a NPN
transistor. I reckon in this fashion:
V+ ---+---------------+
| |
P /c
O<------------| NPN Power xsistor
T \e
| |
Gnd --+---[Motor]-----+
Two questions: Is this a good hookup? And, what would be a good range
for the pot?
Thanks again everybody!
