What Does That Treadmill Motor Coil Do?

I made a video that discusses the coil that is present in the circuit for treadmill motors. I perform some tests to demonstrate the behavior of the motor with the coil vs. without the coil. Watch the video to see what effect that coil has on the operation of the motor.

This is a response to a question that a viewer posted in my previous video that showed the replacement of the treadmill controls with a 10K potentiometer.

    Barry, what’s the size of that inductor choke you are using

      The part number on mine is 130993. The label doesn’t say the rating of the inductor, but I found a site that listed 5.5MH for this part. I hope that helps.

    Barry what size is the inductor you are using in this video ? I dident keep the one used in the treadmill I salvaged the motor from.
