How would it be possible to current limit a 240 v ac supply to 5 amp. I've wanted to know how to do this to run a low voltage mot.?

Question

derfram · Answer

If you want to run a low voltage motor, then you need a low voltage supply.  A simple step down transformer may be what you need.

Current limiting a higher voltage supply to run a low voltage motor would not be a rational approach under normal conditions.

I have only seen current limiting devices for DC, not AC.  You could put a 5A fuse on but it could take 6 or 7A to trip.

TRY THESE WAYS.....
[1] PUT A 5A FAST BLOW FUSE IN SERIES, FUSE BLOWS IF OVER 5A.

[2] PUT A 48 OHM RESISTOR IN SERIES, THE RESISTOR HAS WATTAGE RATE AT LEAST 1200W.
