Hi Mark. It actually has more to do with how the motors are wound. The Iskra is i believe a continuous wound units that is designed for a static machine operation and continuous load and when adapted onto a 12v winch it was found that they simply dont load up like a series wound motor. They take the load and keep going. Lets face it that is when things really get ugly. Loaded and lacking current and the Iskra will just keep pulling.

There is a bit of confusion there. These are likely to be a series wound motor just like every other winch motor, as cranes, hoist, winches etc are the primary use of a series wound motor. The iskra is probably a continuous duty motor? Maybe more poles for more torque?
There are basically 3 types of basic DC motor. Series wound, shunt wound and Compound wound (series and shunt)
