    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.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
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.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
