Lessons learned in designing high power line voltage circuits
Virtually Maker Faire 2020
May 22nd-23rd
Large-scale robotics and IOT devices often need to control AC motors and high-power loads but high power and high-voltage projects can be scary. Based on my experience developing high-power controls for industrial motors, this presentation will focus on practical tips and lessons learned for designing with high power line voltage circuits and components. With the popularity of DIY smart home devices, it’s imperative that we develop the resources to make AC design and tinkering safe, effective, and just as cheap as DC.
