Permanent Magnet DC Motors Features and Specifications (continued)
Form Factor
The voltage normally used to power a permanent magnet (PM) DC motor is not pure DC. It is
derived by rectifying a supplied AC voltage. The resulting DC voltage has a ripple that is related
to the frequency of the AC input, as shown in the example below.
Current Fluctuations
Cause Ripple Current
(Full Wave
Rectication)
Rectied DC Rectier Circuit Single Phase AC
Form factor is the ratio of I
to Idc and indicates how close the driving voltage is to pure DC.
rms
The form factor for a DC battery is 1.0. The higher the form factor is above 1.0, the more it
deviates from pure DC. The Form Factor Table shows examples of commonly used voltages.
Form factor should not exceed 1.40 for continuous operation. Half wave rectification is not
recommended as it increases form factor.
Operating Ironhorse PMDC motors with DC voltages with form factors higher than 1.40 can
result in premature brush failure and excessive motor heating.

1.9 ***Half wave rectification (single phase)
* All DC-input IronHorse GSD series DC drives are 1.05.
* IronHorse AC-input GSD5 DC drive is 1.05.
** Single phase full wave rectification is the most common
form of DC drive in 0.33–2 hp range. All AC-input
IronHorse GSD series DC drives are 1.40 or better.
*** Not Recommended.

Reshipping
If an IronHorse motor needs to be reshipped from the initial shipping point, the following
procedures should be followed to protect the motor from damage.
1)
If the original packaging is to be used for reshipment, inspect the packaging for previous
shipping damage and repackage if necessary. Take care to protect the motor body, fan cover and
shaft.
2)
It is a good idea to bolt or strap the motor to a platform that fits securely in the bottom of the
shipping crate or box. This helps prevent the motor from shifting during transport and thus
protects the bearings from damage.
Long Term Storage
The following preventative measures should be taken when storing IronHorse motors for a long
period of time.
1)
Store motors in a controller temperature, dry atmosphere free of excess dirt, dust and airborne
particles.
2)
Rotate the motor shaft every sixty days to prevent hardening of the bearing grease.
Warranty
IronHorse 56C-frame PMDC motors carry a two year warranty from the date of invoice, and the
small-frame PMDC motors carry our standard one year warranty.
Page 1–6IronHorse® General Purpose DC Motors User Manual – 2nd Ed. Rev D – 01/06/2021
During installation, follow all local electrical, construction, and safety codes for the country in
which the motor is to be installed.
2)
Make sure the appropriate protective devices (circuit breaker or fuses) are connected between
the power source and motor controller.
3)
Make sure that the leads are connected correctly and the motor is properly grounded. (Ground
resistance should not exceed 0.1Ω.)
csaus listing.
c
4)
Use ground leads that comply with AWG/MCM standards and keep them as short as possible.
5)
Make sure that the power source is capable of supplying the correct voltage and required current
to the motor.
6)
Do not attach or remove wiring when power is applied to the motor.
All IronHorse small-frame PMDC motors are UL recognized (E365956) and CSA approved.
Therefore they comply with the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Installations intended to meet the UL or CSA requirements must follow the instructions provided
in the “Wiring Notes” as a minimum standard. Follow all local codes that exceed UL or CSA
requirements. Refer to the technical data on the motor nameplate for electrical and performance
data.
IronHorse small-frame PMDC motors are RoHS compliant.
All IronHorse 56C-frame PMDC motors are cCSAus listed, and therefore comply with the
requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Installations intended to meet the cCSAus requirements must follow the instructions provided
in the “Wiring Notes” as a minimum standard. Follow all local codes that exceed cCSAus
requirements. Refer to the technical data on the motor nameplate for electrical and performance
data.
IronHorse 56C-frame PMDC motors are CE compliant.
