What is proper way to start 1hp 24V DC Motor? Permanent magnet type.
Can I just use contactor with sufficiently high current rating?
(like, 100A, this is what my boss wants)
Or do I need to rig resistive ladder and use multiple contactors?
(I see lot's of literature on that, mostly old)
Or do I need to use switching controller with Triacs?
My goal is pretty minimal: turn the Motor on and off. I am looking for compact economic solution that does not damage the motor.
If I would use Contactor, should I switch both lines (like AC motor) or can I switch positive line only and leave Ground line permanently connected (it probably will work either way but what is recommended practice?)
