spa motor

[guy1]

I have a flomaster xp2 electric spa motor and was looking to see if this would be a viable motor for a kart but can't figure or how to wire it for a battery. Anyone know how to do this?*
Stats on motor:
Hz 60
Volts 230/115
Amps 10/20.

Four word answer as to useability: nope.

 

[guy1]

Any particular reason why?

 

[Poboy kartman]

Nope....no paticular one....not my area....but just a little searching here would enlighten you...but someone will be along shortly to explain the many reasons why it's a poor candidate....(unless you have a reeeaaalllly long extension cord.....)

That is an AC motor, you need a DC motor.. Unless you want a long extension cord...


Edit:Oh snap... That's a double tap on that one there eh Poboy...

Got it... hence my issue with the battery. Just wanted to double check just in case. Thanks for the help.

I hope you didn't try to hook it up to a battery.... Did you???
