The supply on the AC side is just as unreliable as the DC side so nothing would be gained from tapping off there. It can also vary frequency since the motor changes speed based on load. For simplicity, I think the DC side will be easier.
Yes, the battery would flash the rotor to get the...
There will likely be many spikes and dips in the voltage since it's unregulated. I can probably use a coil then a capacitor before the power supply to help smooth out the incoming feed.
Let me give you more information about what I'm trying to do.
The DC is generated by a gas motor driven...
It should only reach zero when the unit is off. It's a high current DC supply buss and I want to tap off for some control voltages. I don't expect it to reach zero but I don't know it's true lower limit and it will sag significantly under heavy load periods.
I need to pull approx 15V DC at up to 10 amps from a constantly varying DC buss that ranges from 0 to up to 200V DC at up to 150 amps. I'm not too familiar with electronics but I do have an electrical background. Thanks for any help!
