    Hi guys New to the forum
    This is my 1st post
    I have just received all the parts fir my 2 dof project
    12vdc worm drive motors
    Arduinio uno
    Ibt 2 controllers
    Dps 1200fb psu.

    My question is this,I read about mandatory earth removal .
    Is this just for wiper motor installs or does this apply to the popular 12v dc motors from motion dynamics,the 200watt,20nm torque models.
    Many thanks in advance

    These Motion Dynamics motors do not need ground isolation, they are good to go out of the box.
