24v motor on 12v supply

[AB]

If you tried to run a 24 volt motor off a 12 volt supply what would happen?

Would it still run but potentially be chasing more power and heat up?

Depends, but probably just run at half power or not at all.

Be a Mythbuster . Try it and find out. Just make sure you film the results.

The keyword I'm looking for is "heat" up ;)

What you do in the bedroom is between you and your 24V toy.
Lmao what have you bought now?

Nothing, just chasing an answer to an existing problem which was put on the forum.

Or another question.

How can you test if a motor is 24v or 12v?

Yes... sort of... depeneds on the motor (series, shunt, compound etc) and the speed controller.
If it is a series wound motor like a winch with no speed control under no load it will turn much slower

You will only have maybe a 1/4 of the power available IE if you apply the same load it will stall down much further and heat up more than if you had the same load at 24 Volts

Measure the voltage that is supplied to the motor (Bwaaahahahaha)

Series wound motors are made to a nominal working voltage IE if you have two identical torque motors the 24 volt one will have thinner gauge windings than the 12 volt one.
