| Post subject: | Wiper motor question. |
I want to run a 2cv wiper motor off the mains (for reasons that aren't important). How should I do this? My first thought is that I can hook it up to a model train controller and let it run like that, does that sound viable? Ideally I'd like to be able to leave it running (unattended) for about an hour. |

What about a gash power supply for a broadband router. Most are 12vdc. Find one with at least a 1amp output and try it. Not sure what a wiper motor draws. Depends on how hard it has to work, I suppose. |

1 amp isn't enough, especially the starting up of the motor will draw a lot more current i'm afraid. just any transformer that is able to deliver enough current at about 12v dc will do the job. |

maybye a battery charger or just a car battery the voltage would need to be dc of course |

I would have thought a wiper motor requires some power to run, and that a broadband plug or the like wont be enough You can get transformers though for this, looked on ebay? I used to have one. How helpful that was to say that though... |

Small battery charger, if you load the motor it can draw 5+ amps... |

Yeah laptop charger or anything boat related. You can pick up generic 240v - 12v adapters in chandleries and caravan shops. I would say 15 amp, but they draw more when the linkages are dirty. |
