I have been spending hours on the web looking and can't find what i'm needing...
I am trying to drive a DC motor with a 110v AC wall plug in. The motor seems to pull up to 15 amps under load and is rated at 18v dc.
Is the only way to get a AC/DC ckt to put out 15 amps is through the use of a huge 15 amp transformer ("transformer sets the max amps"), going through a bridge rectifier, a filter capacitor, and then the voltage regulator?
A 15 amp transformer is huge and pricey!!
Are there better ways (AKA smaller or no transformer)... maybe PWM or something. Any help would be amazing
