Hi there,

I hope someone can help me with this subject. I need to make a rig that is able to test the cart belts. They are driven by 75V DC motors (not much info, they come from China). I ve got a big transformer as a spare unit for entire system but need to create something smaller. I tested the cart already using this transformer (belt drives left or right lets say for 0.5sec) and consuming 1.35 Amps when running.

Cant buy a ready posh, expensive, adjustable power supply, need to be tight in costs and preferably build my own one.

So I think

transformer (maybe 60V) then full bridge rectifier and smoothing/regulating to get 75V DC.

Are there any traps and problems i need look into first? Rig would be designed to test for smooth motor operation too, no jumps, slips etc.

Thanks in advance

Kris

You don't need smoothing capacitors for motor testing if the test just involves motors only.
A 75v secondary transformer and a suitable bridge is all that would be needed.
