Hi Guys.
This is my first post here.Ive been at quite allot of EE Blogs but they seem a bit died out so I hope you guys can help me.
I want to drive a 24V motor and the load that the motor will push up/pull down will be toughly 30Kg.
So I thought of building a H-Bridge that would be capable of handling high amps and also 24V +/- .
Will the Tip 142/147 and/or Tip 137/132 suffice? Also will they switch on with a 5V signal from a microprocessor directly on to their pins(which probably isnt a great idea) or optoIsolators 5V?
I have read the datasheets but I am still unsure and im in doubt because this is a project that should work for a very long time.
Thanks guys
