Anyone know where to find the specifications for this motor?

Thanks I have found those, but I am looking for power curves and electrical specifications.

Those will be tough, if not impossible to come by, especially for GE motors. The nameplate data is all you're likely to get.

Thanks Major that is what I am running into. If you remember this is what I asked about PWM controllers trying to determine the current needed. Most sites that sell them sayy 400 amp minimum up to 600 amps. Trying to zero in on what is best without burning the darn thing up.

Wonder if there is a way to cross refference to another manufacture that does publish specs?

Hi Sun,

Looks like a golf cart motor to me. Maybe a heavy duty one. Most guys are sorry getting too small of a controller. I'd lean heavier on the current limit and continuous rating for the controller. You can always run less current. As for burning up the motor, keep an eye on it. Run without the coverband and watch for brush arcing at first. Then consider a thermal sensor on the motor. Should be searchable threads or posts on motor temperatures here.

Unless you get a monster controller, like a Zilla, chances are the controller will be a weaker link than the motor when it comes to short term thermal events.

Just my opinions,
