Hello All,
I am a ME student but, I'm trying to teach myself EE. I am testing out a stepper motor. Here are the specs for the motor:
Rated Voltage: 5.7V
Rated Current: 1A per Phase
Resistance per Phase: 5.7V
I am using 15 VDC and want to make sure I don't blow the motor. Using Ohm's Law, VInput = R * IMotor, I get 15 = 1(I) which gives me a resistance of 15 ohms.
My Questions:
(1) What is rated voltage? Is that the optimal voltage for the stepper motor?
(2) What happens if I go above the rated voltage?
(3) If I use a 15 Ohm resistor, will this be enough so the motor doesn't blow?
I am clearly missing something here. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
