i have a sewing machine motor controler (wired in series with motor) that uses a"carbon pile element" where pressure on the pile causes decrease resistance and more current to flow and at some pressure point a short by passes the carbon pile
controler is rated at 95-145 volts and 0.7 amps
now someone has claimed no troubles using the controller with a 120v - 1 amp motor
is this true ? why or why not
i thought the motor , rated 1 amp, would try to draw more current than the controller was rated for and of course overheat etc
any help greatly appreciated r
