24v heater fan motor voltage converter

[airportableffr]

with the sky high prices of the 24v fan motors these days I was wondering if I could drop the voltage to 12v and use one of the cheaper 12v motors?

I have used a simple 24v to 12v dropper from amazon to reduce the voltage on a charger socket I have fitted and seems fine.

any thoughts welcome

thanks

oh dear, is it that bad an idea

I can't see it being a problem. You just need to make sure that you work out how much the current draw will be and if the converter can cope with it. You can get them for trailer electrics, so no issue there. I would look for something with a max draw of anything up to 12A given that it is a motor you are trying to run.

thanks, that sounds good advice
