The 36 volt motor will over heat (depending on the load of the motor)on 48 volts and melt the copper inside the motor you can rewind the copper inside to cope with the extra 12 volts.My answer would be not to try it as i have and it totaly melted the copper inside.

Up grade 36 volt golf cart to 48 volts?

You will have to change the cart motor to one that operates on 48 volts DC and then add one more 12 volt battery (identical to the exsisting) in series with the batteries that are in the cart now.


Can a 1 horse power motor run on a 2500 watt generator?

Maybe that motor can turn the generator, but you won't get 2,500 watts out of it. 1 horsepower is only 746 watts. <<>> A one HP motor draws 16 amps on 115 volts and 8 amps on 230 volts. Using the formula W = A x V = 16 x 8 = 1840 watts. It shows that the motor will run on a 2500 watt generator. Where the problem might arise is getting the motor to start. Generally a motor takes 300% of its running current to start. 16 x 300% = 48 starting amps. Back to the first formula W = 48 x 115 = 5520 watts. The 2500 watt generator is just under half of the wattage needed to start the motor. Try the generator, one of three things will happen, one the generator will stall, two the generators breaker will trip or three the motor will run. Some generators have a temporary overload output built into them that will allow the above generator rating output for a certain amount of seconds. If your generator has this feature then the motor will probably start.


Holophane ballast re400mh48hrw how do i wire them and are they 120 or 220?

On your model number the figures after 400MH are the voltages for that ballast. A 40 represents 240 volts, 12 represents 120 volts and yours 48 represents 480 volts. Looks like this is a industrial fixture and not meant for residential use.


How do you install 12 volt lights on 48 volt cart?

If your cart has 4, 12 volt batteries in series to make up the 48 volts, just connect the 12 volt lights across one of the batteries.


What size generator would be required for 440 volts 3 phase 100 amp supply?

Volts * Amps = Watts 220V * 20 A = 4400 Watts BUT!!! You don't want to run a generator at 100% capacity for very long; that should be considered peak conditions only and the generator should be run at 80% or less. The generator will last a lot longer if you run it at 50% capacity (in other words, a generator with 8800 Watt capacity would be a good place to start)

How many volts to run a 48 Volt club car electric motor?

If a 48 Volt club car electric motor requires 48 volts, then it should be given a 48 volt power source, or something close to it. Too many more volts and it may burn out; not enough volts and it may not run or it will try to draw too much power and burn out the power supply.

What can a 48 volt power supply be used for?

A lot of commercial telecommunications equipment runs on 48 volts. There are also relays that use 48 volts. I'm sure there are many other uses for this. I'm not aware of any in a typical house, if that's what you're looking for. Perhaps certain water softeners, sprinkler systems, etc. run on 48, but the ones I've seen usually run on 12.


How many batteries you require to get output of 48 volts?

You need to divide the 48 volts by the voltage produced by a single battery.

Are there razor pocket rocket mods?

1 that is easy go to mykwilwin.com and buy a +5 kit from him it matters which RC battery you use but with a 7.2 volt 6 cell 2000meg battery(RC battery not included) or you could hardwire 36-48 volts which is much harder to do to hardwire 36 volts in 1st you should buy a 36 volt 36 amp controller(which is also used in the razor mx500 and mx650) and get a twist grip from a razor mx500/650........48 volts I do not know how to do sorry but for the 36volt mods you need a speicil kind of controller and twist grip so just Google razor pocket bike mods
