I like your idea of using resistor and a zener diode. Ok, so then I can use a 4700 ohm 3W resistor and a zener diode. what zener diode should I get? I guess if we connect a diode and resistor in series with a DC voltage source then the voltage drop will be constant. correct?.
Thanks
Oh my bad it is 130 V DC. The current draw is stable. Per my understanding I can use resistors to drop the voltage from AC to DC but for DC to DC, resistors won't work (May be I am wrong). power source is a 130 V DC power unit.
I think there are some DC power supplies but they are very expensive.
I don't see any other options other then using TL783 :(
Do you have any experience with TL783?
Should I use it or should I find some other alternative?
Thanks,
No there is no reason for me doing it by myself. I tried searching online to find a better and safer way to do this but TL783 was the only method I came across.
I would love to use something off shelf. The adapter from walmart is AC to DC but I need DC to DC. (Input=130V DC and Output=12V DC)...
Hi all,
I need to convert 230V DC to 12V DC (very large Voltage drop) so is it a good idea to use TL783? The load current is 22 m A.
Will I need input and output capacitors?
Thanks
Thanks Steve for getting back to me.
The way this circuit should work is: controller sends a signal to turn this lamp ON and after few seconds the lamp gets a OFF signal.
The way it is working now is when the controller sends a signal the lamp turns ON (V=27V DC) and after it gets a OFF...
Hi All,
I have a 27V DC going to a light indicator and somehow there is a leakage....when the controller sends a signal the light indicator comes ON which is great but when I measured the voltage when the indicator was off, it gives me a value of 12 volt which should be 0V...
The current is...
