hi everyone, probably a newbie question..but im new to electronics.
basically, im doing an art project for university and this will require that i attract ferro fluid (or some other magnetic stuff...) at a very rapid rate (to create a wave like pattern).
i have (or can get hold of) a controller that will switch the relays at a very quick rate (upwards of cycles of 10 hz which is all i need.) i also have the electro magnets (thanks ebay ) and i can get the relays easily enough.. but......
what can i use as the "large" power for the magnets (there is four of them)?
if it is being turned on and off at 10hz cycles wont it trip all the fuses in the house?? and how can i prevent this??? is there some kind of a transformer power suply that can deal with it??
it wont be a constant on off @ 10hz either sometimes it will be slower and longer holds and other times it will be short little holds...
the magnets are http://www.magnetschultz.co.uk/docs/Electromagnets/GMH GZZ.pdf ( the 030 24v model) i was told that 3.6w is what they need???
any help to this would be much apreciated... hope i explained it well enough for you all to understand..
ps im in the uk if this changes anything power wise.
thanks.
