EPS Bench setup we are thinking about: Torque Angle Sensor (TAS) will be emulated by PIC microcontroller. Emulated TAS will be connected to EPS ECU's Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) bus.
Our strategy in getting started with EPS Bench testing: Use PIC microcontroller to apply...
I am selecting a switch to energize a 3/4 hp AC motor. I am concerned about the prospect of contact arcing with such an inductive load.
If a switch is rated at 25A @ 125 VAC, it will handle the continuous current, but might there be a reliability issue over time due to contact arcing at turn on?
