Hello everyone, I'm after some advice if possible. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I am trying to build a 12v DC power supply for a friend to run a permanent magnet motor. The motor is currently run off a 12v car battery but they would like it to be 240v mains fed. I have a 240/12 step down transformer with a 60amp secondary rating. Am I correct in thinking if I rectify the 12vac via a bridge rectifier I will need a capacitor of the correct value to smooth the rippled DC output?.
I don't have any specific details of the motor as of yet, im sure it is a two pole permanent magnet type DC motor. I expect the motor rating to be around 40/50 amp.
Thanks again, josh.
