    Controller Motor
Click For 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.
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
