Title: Dyson DC26 - speed regulation ?
Post by: 304bl on December 16, 2022, 10:20:10 am

Hi everyone, I'm planning to use my DC26 for a project and would need to regulate the speed of the motor, I found so AC voltage regulator on ebay (up to 4000W) and I was wondering if it would be ok or not ?

the idea would be to plug the DC26 directly to the speed regulator but I was wondering if the PCB can be damaged or not by the voltage being regulated ?

I'm not sure it would allow you to do that as the DC26 has a digital motor. It might not run on less power.

I doubt it would damage the PCB by putting fewer volts/amps through it. Putting more through it would surely kill it though, but that device looks unable to do that.

thanks for your reply. What do you mean by digital motor ?

It is fitted with a digital motor like the airblades and hair dryers. Not a traditional motor with carbon brushes.
