Amp limiting controller.
« on: September 01, 2020, 08:56:44 pm »
I have a frozen drink machine and for some reason it froze up the other night and stripped the plastic gear that operates the mixing paddle. Is there something that I could buy to put in line with the paddle motor that when it got to a certain amp draw that it would shut the power down to that motor? Thanks Michael

look into PTC resettable fuses. Its a one component solution that just goes in line with the motor. They aren't the most ideal solution, and they don't have really accurate trip points, but if you think that there is a big difference between the working current of the motor and the 'stalled' current in the motor, these might be something to look into.
