How to protect the power supply against reverse voltage?

How to provide Over current protection in a power supply?

I have finally got everything working on my 2dof system. I have been powering it with a dc battery from a car which works fine. I planned on using a power supply with the battery to supply power but the problem I am having is the power supply shuts down with the battery connected. I am using a high end pc power supply that claims to provide max 60A on the 12v rail. I modded ...

hey everyone,

trying to work out the best way to power up my 3dof sim using the motion dynamics 12v dc 200w 16amp worm drive motors, 2 for the seat and one for traction loss (probably well dahhh lol )

now i've seen a lot of info about server power supplies and while i don't doubt that they wouldn't do the job id rather only have one plug in the outlet rather than three, now ...

Hi
i am building mini 6dof platform using the following :


amc1280usb
1x Pololu Micro Serial Servo Controller
6 X standard servo motor

and I didn't find any thing about power source for mini servo motor , maybe this self-evident for every one here but i have no background/ experiences with this

should i use normal power adapter (5v) and connect it to polou controller ? can i you phone charger ? what about AMP ...

Hello guys!

I have seen some people using two car batteries or a battery and a power supply in parallel, but I did not find anyone using two DC power supply. I already have two PS 24V 14.6A. Can I put them in parallel? I have to use some diode between them?



I have to use only one PS because I'm using a Pololu VNH5019 who has only one Vcc input for two DC ...

Hi everybody,

some advices in this forum regarding power supply solutions is to connect a car battery in parallel to a psu.

I have two 12V - 40A PSUs: http://r.ebay.com/zPzf45 and planned to power two 12V 30W wiper motors from each psu (four motors total).
As I found out during initial testing, the psu kind of shuts down after some turns of the motor!? :?
After waiting ...

I am now getting the electronic components for my build.
I have two of the three SCN5's 100 mm, and looking at power supplies.
My question is how to go with power supply. Do I need to go with individual units, one to each SCN5, or can I use a single unit, like this one:
http://www.meanwell.com/search/SP-240/SP-240-spec.pdf
The model I am looking at is tSP-240-24, 24v, 10A.
I will be ...

Hi guys, at the risk of highjacking someones other post, ill start again...

My power supply cosel-pba100f-24 found here- http://www.powergatellc.com/cosel-pba100f-24-n-power-supply.html has crapped itself. I have two SCN5's as originally from FREX.
Im converting to x-Sim now and need to know if this power supply (cheaper) will do the job- http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360528982148&clk_rvr_id=422924176331&item=360528982148&lgeo=1&vectorid=229515

I had posted elsewhere if my PC PSU would work but since figured out it wouldn't!

Any tech heads keen to let me know if ...

Hi,
I use on my sim rig a fan system like here described in the forum with a 6v battery. My problem is to use the correct power supply for the battery. I connected a charging station from a helicopter modell but this was not really a perfect solution because it has an auto stop modus and is was not permanently connected. However this device is now damaged.
I assume I must have an another ...
