Hi All,
Being a "simple" system integrator who normally uses stock parts, I've come across a problem. I'm developing a machine which requires using 12VDC control voltage (no problem - using a 12VDC switched power supply suitable to 12Amps) and a 12VDC chemical pump. Don't know why, but I thought the power supply would be sufficient to drive the motor, it wasn't. The start current seems to be overloading the power supply. Does anybody know of a simple and inexpensive solution for this? Do I use some type of H-Bridge or
MOSFET configuration between the power supply and pump?
Thanks in advance.
