I am using stepper motors to transport nanofibers in an electrospinnig setup. Howaver with the electric field (46 kV) I applied, the stepper motor drivers give an error and the motors do not work. I grounded the motor and drivers. I used UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). But the same problem persists. Why does a stepper motor exposed to an electric field put itself in protection mode? What can be done so that the driver does not give an error?
Hi
Can you provide me basic circuit diagram for your connection.
Dear Behzat YILDIRIM ,
One would like to understand the relation between the high voltage, the driver and the stepper motor. What is the frequency of the HV and how far is it from the driver and the motor. More information is needed to share in the solution of the problem. It is an interference problem then you need t build a Faraday Cage around this set. In this way it will be protected from the HV.
Best wishes
Due to the rotor inertia stepper motor good from low speed accurate controls for the high medium or higher speed with higher voltage universal motors are preferred …..
Dear Indirajith Kanagaraj , Abdelhalim abdelnaby Zekry , Bhupendra Desai
Thank you for your precious answers. Attached you can find a simple diagram of the high voltage power supply, motor and driver relationship.
The driver we use is Pololu tic 825, the stepper motor driver circuit it contains is drv8825. The related files are attached.
