    [SOLVED] How fast can a BDX33C switch an inductive load?

    I wanted to add PWM control if possible. Sorry I should have added that to my question. I will not need 1 MHz but I was looking for an upper limit so I threw that out there. The Arduino NANO PWM frequency can be set to ~32kHz (or ~64kHz depending on which PWM pins are used) which gives about...

    [SOLVED] How fast can a BDX33C switch an inductive load?

    Thank you Klaus. All very true, the original drivers used IGBTs or MOSFETs for those reasons. But they generally require a high driver voltage which doubles the building drama. Can anyone suggest an upper limit of the switching frequency. Could they manage 1MHz?

    [SOLVED] How fast can a BDX33C switch an inductive load?

    I have a smartdrive washing machine motor. These are normally driven by a 400VDC power supply using FETs or similar transistors to switch the power to the coils. My plan is to have a 80V rechargable battery and switch the coil power with BDX33C and BDX34C Darlington pair transistors (because...

    Current rating for an 8 wire stepper motor with coils connected in series

    Thanks c_mitra. It was an 8 stepper with 4 coils each a DC resistance of 5 ohms. So with them connected in series there are two coils of 10 ohms each. It is a stepping motor so not sure if speed is a factor. The coils are on all the time with a constant current of 1 amp whatever the load...

    Current rating for an 8 wire stepper motor with coils connected in series

    Thanks Guys. Looks like there is no hard and fast rule. Can't find a datasheet so will work on the premise that if it is not too hot it is not too hot.

    Current rating for an 8 wire stepper motor with coils connected in series

    Hi. I have an 8 wire stepper motor which I have connected the coils in series to run off an A4988 driver. The rating on the back of the motor is 5V 1A I am driving it with a 20 volt supply. To adjust the current I set the driver stepping once every 5 seconds and measured the current through...

    [SOLVED] Suitable driver for a MOSFETs H Bridge

    Hi guys. I am sure this question has been asked before but when I search I get so many answers that don't really apply so I am confused. I have a 20V PSU which I want to power a 3 phase permanent magnet motor (brushless motor I guess). If I could, I would like to use 6 of TK40E06N1 (S...

    [SOLVED] Connecting monitor speakers to a mobile phone

    Thank you Klaus. Those were the key words I needed. For anyone who is interested: - Use 2 core shielded cable for each channel. - at 3.5mm plug. connect i core to left (or right) signal and the other core and the cable shield to the common - At the speaker input, signal core goes to (+), the...

    [SOLVED] Connecting monitor speakers to a mobile phone

    OK then Klaus. Can I do that with something like a capacitor or will it need to be something more active?

    [SOLVED] Connecting monitor speakers to a mobile phone

    Cheers Barry. Yes, they are powered speakers. Where should the shield connect to? The speaker GND or the 3.5 mm common?

    [SOLVED] Connecting monitor speakers to a mobile phone

    HI. I have just bought some second hand Phonic PS6 monitor speakers to connect to my phone. So I connected a 3.5 mm jack cable to 2 1/4" plugs for each speaker by taking the common and red wire from the 3.5mm plug to the + and - input of one speaker and the common and white wire to the + and -...

    [SOLVED] How to pulse a three coil stepper motor?

    Hi Klaus. Not sure what you mean. This is a three wire motor so at least two, possibly three, of the coils must have current going through them. Can't just energise 1.

    [SOLVED] How to pulse a three coil stepper motor?

    Hi. I have salvaged a three coil stepper motor and am a bit confused about how to pulse the coils to make it move. Here is a cross section image of the motor: It has 32 magnets on the rotor around 48 coil stator. These coils are connected in three groups (A, B and C) of 16 coils each. The...

    [SOLVED] How reduce transient voltages with a transistor+zener+resistor regulato?

    Hi D. Thanks. I have seen capacitors in parallel circuits before but couldn't see the point.

    [SOLVED] How reduce transient voltages with a transistor+zener+resistor regulato?

    Hi Brad. Yes I would if I was looking to do something practical from an interest perspective. But, I have no 40V clock signal. Be more straight forward if I have a clock to set it up to control Vout by straight PWM. This concept of this circuit is more suited to increasing (pumping up) the...
