This yet another versatile 3-phase driver device in the form of IC L6235 from ST Microelectronics allows you to drive a 50V 3-phase BLDC motor with extreme efficiency.The chip also includes all the required protection features built-in, along with an easy to configure external speed control stage. How the IC L6235 BLDC Driver Works The IC […]
3 Phase Induction Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of a simple 3 phase induction motor speed controller circuit, which can be also applied for a single phase induction motor or literally for any type of AC motor. When it comes to controlling the speed of induction motors, normally matrix converters are employed, involving many complex […]
3 Phase Brushless (BLDC) Motor Driver Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a simple 3 phase brushless DC motor driver circuit. The circuit employs the popular IRS2330 3-phase driver IC The presented idea looks simple since most of the technicalities is taken care of efficiently by the IC itself, it’s all about connecting the relevant pinouts with the […]
Single Phase AC to Three Phase AC Converter Circuit
In this post I have explained an interesting single phase AC to 3 phase AC circuit. The idea was requested by Mr. Sachin Sinalkar. Technical Specifications Hi dear sir, is there any way by which we can convert single phase 230V supply into three phase. i had try to ask question on your web site […]
