    MC33063A minimum voltage input requirement for buck converter

    Thanks, I could not see DCMax= 0.86 information in the datasheet and my practical tests did not comply. Now it makes sense. Thanks again.

    MC33063A minimum voltage input requirement for buck converter

    For a 12V output with this simple switcher in buck configuration what should be the minimum input voltage and how to determine it? Thanks.

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    In commissioning mode may be they only use current measurement, which has all the required circuits. I did not know yet if it is possible. But I am sure that the drives I looked at didn't have a voltage measurement circuit. They were 5.5 and 7.5 KW drives with different brands. May be some...

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    Mystery is this: Just focus on the DC-Bus voltage. All the drives are somehow measuring, using and displaying this info. But they have no -isolated or not- hardware(I mean direct or obvious voltage measurement hardware) for that purpose. So how can they extract this information? There are 3...

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    I think you misunderstood me. I will measure 2 voltages. One of them is DC. Harmonics or ripple are not important for that measurement. So an average value is OK which can be reached with a simple analog filter. The second voltage measurement won't be on motor phases during normal operation...

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    Ok, I think there is no other way than the ones we all know, but mystery is still there for me for the situation that I've mentioned. Thanks.

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    Why is the nyquist a problem? Every drive in the market works in similar conditions and their output frequency often exceeds 50 Hz and reaches upto 400Hz. Since IGBT switching frequency is limited to 20KHz, mostly they limit to 16KHz and the default value is generally 4-8KHz. My main concern is...

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    Ok. Electrical grid is 50 Hz. Motor frequency range is 0-50Hz. Inverter power will be 7.5KW. Switching frequency will be 4-16KHz. Pretty standart inverter circuit.

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    Think of 3-phase (400VAC phase to phase voltage) fed inverter system. Since Dc Bus is about 550-600VDC, I think isolation is required, am I wrong? There is a flyback transformer in the system with multiple outputs. May be I can manage to sense Dc Bus voltage somehow using one of the outputs...

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    The problem is cost. If I can eliminate two iso-amps from the circuit, then it will be better from the perspective of total cost. And pcb routing may be relaxed a little, because board area is tight and clearance and creepage rules are hard to follow in a tight area.

    Voltage measurement technique/circuit in an ac motor drive?

    I used to use some kind of voltage sensor to make the isolated measurement of the voltage in a 3 phase inverter system. I've inspected several ac motor drives and I did not see any special IC like isolated amplifier or some sensor or a similar thing. I need to measure the DcBus and motor phase...

    Foldback current protection for sink circuit

    No, partly reducing is enough just to prevent damage from overheating. I estimate 150mA@24V will be drawn continously at max. But I want to add a 100-150mA extra room just in case to handle transients etc. It should folds back as soon as it exceeds 250mA to ~150mA or below and returns to normal...

    Foldback current protection for sink circuit

    The right one(cl.png) from wikipedia has no foldback action it just stops at a certain limit while the other one(fb.png) folds back.

    Foldback current protection for sink circuit

    I could not find, generally they are for constant current limit or the load is at the emitter side.

    Foldback current protection for sink circuit

    Its just for example. The values and components are yet to be determined.
