12V and 24V Single Phase Motor

Hello everyone, I have small single-phase electric motors, 12V and 24V (less than 1 A for the first one and between 1 and 2 A for the second one).
For example, I have this motor for the 24 V: http://www.conrad.fr/ce/fr/product/227579/Moteur-entranement-12-V-Modelcraft-RB350200-0A101R-1200?ref=list

Since I am starting in electricity, I would like to know how to properly power them from a mains supply (like a wall socket) while ensuring that there is no damage to the equipment. Thank you in advance for your responses.

Hello.

Since you are at Conrad, you have this transformer for example

https://www.conrad.fr/p/sedlbauer-858252-transformateur-torique-1-x-230-v-2-x-12-vac-50-va-208-a-518654

But a 75 VA would be better

If you want something more powerful, there are options with this supplier

Another thing, do you need a thermal relay?

Not necessarily. Unless you really plan to use this motor intensively for long hours.

This is just a suggestion . . . Bye

Hello,

You simply need suitable transformers 230V / 12V for the first one and 230V / 24V for the second one.

Both should be able to handle at least the maximum current drawn by the corresponding motors (less than 1A and 2A). If they can handle more, that's not an issue: it's the load connected to the transformer (the motor) that determines the current drawn.

If you are concerned about damaging the transformers, you can connect fuses on the output to protect against a potential short circuit at the motor or the wires supplying it. However, the circuit breaker upstream of the outlet should take care of that...

Thank you very much, but I can't seem to find a transformer on the internet that suits me. Is there an adjustable transformer with two sockets and two different possible configurations?

Another thing, do I need a thermal relay?

Hello
This question is rather off-topic in this section of the site mainly dedicated to the Web.
It would be wiser to rephrase it on
https://bricolage.linternaute.com/forum/electronique-15
the site of the same group as CCM where it can be processed in a more targeted and relevant manner.

Please avoid talking about single-phase motors when it comes to DC motors... in direct current power supply, we talk about volts DC... Volts AC is alternating current
Thank you.

Well thank you, but I just ran into another problem; my motors are DC, whereas the transformers output 12 or 24 AC.
