I have searched all over and have not found an answer. I am a newbie, please bear with me, I'll try to explain as best as I can.
I have an alternator which I assume has a 3 phase wye configuration. I am planning on removing the rectifier. I would like the alternator to supply power when it is...
Hello, I'm trying to redesign the electronics for a camera's stepper motor controlled pan/tilt/zoom/focus features. The product is from China and there is no documentation available. I've managed to determine what parts were originally used to control the motors but there are no datasheets...
Hello dear Forum, I am new here. I don't have much knowledge of solar panels or motors... I was wondering how it would be possible to connect a small/medium solar panel (not too expensive) to a mirror ball motor (for a 50cm diameter disco ball).
I don't have any of the materials yet, that's why...
There is a peculiar issue noticed, I need help understanding the reason and may be troubleshooting.
There is a microcontroller(87S52) based board with ADC and IO lines. The unit is programmed to operate for a time lets say T secs. When the board is used in the system in stand alone mode, I tend...
I'm working on a 3 phase 20HP motor which its wiring does not match the the name plate.
It does not have the traditional 9 or 12 wires sticking out the side which can be reconfigured for 230v/460v.
Splitting it apart reveals a total of 24 wires, 9 pairs, 1 triple, and L1,L2,L3.
Analyzing the...
I'd like to make a coffin for next halloween that rattles and has audio play when anyone walks past it. I've got ptc circuit for audio and I have an idea about using a cam and motor for the rattling door but is there a way I can get the audio circuit to work with the motor controls? I was...

Hi, i want to experiment with a small scale axial flux motor and a single coil.
The first question is what should be the polarity of the magnets? Same or alternating?
The second question is what should be the shape of the coil. Is a core needed...
I setup two small circuits on breadboard with BD139 transistors to drive a 12v 0.2A motor and 24v 0.15A Relay to learn transistors, I can switch ON transistor through base resistor using 3.3v PSU.
I know when motor/relay stops it can push back some current and i believe its called current...
As a hobbyist I am trying to build a luggage trolley looks similar to this
Its motorized and can carry a human and its capable of moving a payload upto 150kg on flat surface or sometimes a slop of 15 degree.
Its movement is controlled by arduino.
Please suggest a good motor or mechanism for...
Hi all,
A begineer here. I am making a simple DC motor based car. I am using the following components,
Two 12v DC motor (1000RPM, No-Load Current: 70mA (max) )
L239D Motor Driver
Arduino D1 board
Eight 3.7v 3800mah Li Battery (4 batteries for each motor )
My doubt is,
1. I want to run...
I want to simulate a AC ceiling fan operating with 240V. I want to add some external electronic circuit. I would like to analyze the behavior of the fan circuitry depending on my inputs. so could some one please tell me the inductance and resistance of the fan ?
Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me!
In my project, I want to create a battery-powered motorized ‘lazy susan’, where the top part of wood will spin with an object on top. I am quite confident on how I will attach all the components to do this as there are many youtube tutorials on the internet...
Hi,
I am working on a solar panel whose output maximum specifications are 6V, 100mA ( nearly 0.6watt). Practically these values came to 5v, 80mA when tested in afternoon sun. I want to run a motor whose operating voltage is (3~12V), no load current is 180mA. I would like to know...
HI,
I was recently trying to test the capacity of a battery pack I'm building and was trying to measure the current draw using a 35 Turn 540 brushed DC motor (apparently on the website I had purchased from said something about it being sensored, but I couldn't find any sort of sensor inside)...
I'm trying to control brushed DC motor that is connected to a gearbox that moves a linear slide to raise and lower a sensor. The motor will be controlled by an operator that is raising and lowering the sensor before and after the runtime of the general system. I am trying to keep it as simple as...
Hi, I want to rotate the motor directly with solar. My aim is to change the speed of motor depending on amount of light on the solar. I do not wish to use any other power supply. I want the motor to rotate solely with Solar only. this is a very small project for high school students. What I...
I have a few questions based on some little projects have been working towards finishing. The first one has to do with me trying to use my 120 AC powered corded drill as a simple converted bicycle motor. Show theme simple enough but my issue is how do I convert it to run on a battery? I would...
Okay so i have a food processor motor but i cant find a wiring diagram and would need help how to wire it to work as a generator or just as a on off motor.
Hello everyone ...
For a project, I want to make an escalator smart with a number of PIR sensors
So that the escalator turns off after one minute of not using it
And for example, turn on 20 seconds later
If this cycle continues, can it damage the engine?
The specifications of this motor are 9 kW...
Hello All,
I am a young professional electrical engineer who has just started working in Automation field. We build customized panels including PLCs, HMIs, Pushbuttons, Lights, Relays etc., I have been searching for a reference codes and standards that can be helpful for designing and wiring...
