Hi,
I'm creating an electromagnet for a project I'm working on. My problem is, if I connect the two ends of the coil to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply for more than 2-3 seconds, the power supply connector literally gets smoaking hot.
Parts:
For the core, I'm using an iron core that I salvaged from a weather station. Dimensions: 50.0mm x 2.0mm x 7.0mm
For the wire, I'm using this
For the power supply, I'm using this
If you need any more information about this project, please feel free to ask.
I appreciate all responses.
Kind regards,
Linky132.
