X.3345 TEST OF EXPL MTOROR FITTED WITH C.M. 3 BRUSHES AND E.7180 SPRINGS. X.2656

The motor was loaded up to take 140 amps. the torque then being 468 lb/inches it ran at this load for 20 mins without any sign of bad commutation or brush trouble.

It was thought advisable to stop it at the end of 20 mins owing to the heating up.
