Abstract
A PMDC brush motor normally used by the automotive industry is adapted to work undersea as a thruster for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The application demands that the motor works immersed in an insulating liquid, which acts like a pressure compensation fluid. The paper reports some tests performed with this motor immersed in two different insulating liquids, kerosene and the mineral oil. The conclusion is that the PMDC motor used has a very good performance when immersed in mineral oil
