Transformers and Regulated Power Supplies

08/16/2009 10:47 PM

Good day,

I have 2 unit of transformer rated:

1) Input 230VAC 50Hz and output 60V 40Amp (60V 0V 60V)
2) Input 230VAC 50Hz and output 12V 45Amp (12V 12V)

I want to make both of them into a regulated power supply:

The first is to power a few servo drive and servo motor, the drive is rated 75V max and the servo motor is rated 60V max at 4A max. There are total of 7 drive and servo motor for my CNC project.

The second is for supplying power to battery charger.
The charger input rating is 11V to 27V, I'm charging to 8.4Vmax @ 6A, I'll use it to power up to 6 charger.

Please let me know the value of rectifier, capacitor, bleed resistor, and regulator to use for above transformer.

Where can I find formula for it and wiring diagram to connect it up? Thanks

This information is readily available. Try a google search of "regulated power supply design" for design basics, formulas, wiring and application notes and even complete downloadable books on the subject.

Also, Wikipedia has plenty of good info

Exercise extreme caution when working with the 230V ac side of transformer circuit, least you wind up dead.

Oh, additionally you will need special servo motor controllers to allow the servo motors to work (you cannot just connect power to them like you would a standard DC motor). Also, you will need special battery charger regulators to properly charge the batteries (you cannot just connect a regulated power supply across a battery).

That should be a reversible synchronous servomotor and an auto transformer. The design is same a automatic voltage stabilizer.

What do you mean by reversible synchronous servo motor?

The rotor rotates in synchronism with the rotating field, thus the name synchronous motor is often used to designate servo motors of this design.
