    SSR for motor control

    LOL. It's funny you said that. I thought the same thing right after I posted. Sorry, it's been a long day. But now that I already have posted and the phones there more than likely will not be answered at his hour replies are stil welcome.

    SSR for motor control

    Hi. I would like to know what the outcome would be if I supply this SSR ( www.power-io.com/products/hdd.htm ) with voltages within it's range but more than twice (40 kHz) the cycles it's tested at.

    SSR input current

    I would like to know if a solid state relay's with the below control input specs will draw only needed current from a supply source of 24Vdc 0.75A. Control voltage range: 4-32 Vdc Minimum turn-off voltage and current: 4Vdc/6mA Maximum turn-on voltage and current: 32Vdc/10mA Maximum turn-off...

    Amperage Voltage and Solid State Motor Control

    jraef 'Hobby' applies to the radio control model hobby, airplanes, cars, helicopters ect. The motor I don't have yet, but it's rated at 340 amps. One of the components is a radio controlled (R/C) speed controller. This particular one is used in robotics competitions like Battle Bots used in...

    Amperage Voltage and Solid State Motor Control

    Sorry for the confusion. I wanted to reduce the voltage or amperage. I knew that amperage and voltage are related but two different things. From what I understood the relay controller can work with either, so I would reduce one. I was looking for an easier and less expensive way to control a...

    Amperage Voltage and Solid State Motor Control

    Hi, Please bear with my ignorance of electronics. I realize the answers to my questions may be obvious, just not to me LOL. I'm trying to reduce the voltage or amperage of a power supply to under 10V or .02 amps from its original 24 volts @ .75 amps. I experimented using two .22 ohm resistors...

    DC motor control

    I would like to use 0-18v DC @ about 1 amp to control 16v DC @ 125 amps or even 115 volts AC from separate power supply. When the control voltage changes polarity the output voltage to a motor should also. What can I buy or build to accomplish this?

    Motor control

    Cool. Thanks for your help.

    Motor control

    I would like to add itsmoked that I found a 'better way' than my pervious ones. I was'nt saying better than your idea. Just though I would clarify that.

    Motor control

    Thanks for the reply. I think I found a better way to accomplish my goal. What I found were speed controls (some robust enough to make a go-cart with) for robotics that use PWM signals from receivers used for radio controlled models, and something called a comparator to convert plain DC...

    Motor control

    I'm looking for a reversable speed controller that uses variable DC input voltage (about 0-20 Volts) to control higher DC (30+ volts) or AC output voltage proportionately. Something like this must exist. If so what type of controller is it?
