So, does this mean that you have already chosen which valves you want to use, or are you stating that the available voltage is 12V?Hi im getting 25 solenoid valves and controlling them with a z8 microcontroller. the valves are 12v.
?? I have read that 5 times now and have no clue what you mean... You want a 25A 12V power supply? How do you know what the amperage requirement is?so i need 12v and 25 amps for the 25 amps.
I'm just not exactly sure of the schematics or part numbers for the parts? Could any of you help me out?
I agree with that, but it's unclear to me whether he already knows what valves he's going to use, or if the valves are one of the parts he's looking for guidance on. If he hasn't already ordered the valves, and depending what type of vavle he really needs for his application, he might be able to use valves with a different current requirement.I'm sure he meant "So i need 12v and 25 amps for the 25 valves".
Are the valves to be turned on randomly, so potentially all of them could be on at once? Or is it possible that only one, or only a few, will be on at any time? You might get by with a smaller power supply if it's the second plan. Otherwise, 25 Amps at 12 Volts is it. That's a pretty hefty supply, but what must be must be.
