    Controller Motor
AI Thread Summary
A controller circuit is needed for a switched reluctance motor using an asymmetric half-bridge topology, with specifications of 50A at 50V. The user is considering either an embedded or an analog controller and is seeking a datasheet link for the motor. There is some confusion regarding the request, as selecting a pre-made controller seems contrary to the design process. Clarification is needed on whether the user is looking for an integrated circuit or a specific control topology. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinction between designing a controller and purchasing one.

Hi. I have to design a controller circuit for switched reluctance motor. The topology to be used is asymmetric half-bridge. The motor current is 50A at 50V. I need help in the selection of controller. I have both options either to use embedded or totally analog controller.

Can you post a datasheet link for the motor?

Selecting a controller to buy sounds like the opposite of designing a controller.
 
Is this a homework assignment? If so, we can move it to the homework forum.

He must mean a controller controller, i.e. an IC or a topology. That's the only sense I can make of embedded vs. analog in this context.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
