    Controller Motor
AI Thread Summary
A controller circuit is needed for a switched reluctance motor using an asymmetric half-bridge topology, with specifications of 50A at 50V. The user is considering either an embedded or an analog controller and is seeking a datasheet link for the motor. There is some confusion regarding the request, as selecting a pre-made controller seems contrary to the design process. Clarification is needed on whether the user is looking for an integrated circuit or a specific control topology. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinction between designing a controller and purchasing one.

Hi. I have to design a controller circuit for switched reluctance motor. The topology to be used is asymmetric half-bridge. The motor current is 50A at 50V. I need help in the selection of controller. I have both options either to use embedded or totally analog controller.

Can you post a datasheet link for the motor?

Selecting a controller to buy sounds like the opposite of designing a controller.
 
Is this a homework assignment? If so, we can move it to the homework forum.

He must mean a controller controller, i.e. an IC or a topology. That's the only sense I can make of embedded vs. analog in this context.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
