oatleyelectronics new controller

[bob golding]

hi all,

just got  a new controller kit from oatleyelectronics.com i had one of there older design, and could see ways it could be improved. well they seem to have had the same idea. it now comes with a 3 phase bridge rectifier and  back emf braking. not really, but the end result is the same. i only recieved it today and intend to build it tommorrow. i was very pleased with the last one. it arrived  within 2 weeks  from australia to the uk and only costs 23 uk pounds. about 45 us dollars. i have no connection with this company but am just passing the info on for those who might want to build there own controller. the kit number is k241.

cheers

  I have them on my site for those in the US.   The new ones are pretty cool with the integrated 3 phase rectifiers. They can be used as a dump load as well as a brake. Also the K220A which is the same as the 241 with out the brige on the board. Can only be used as a diversion load controller.

  They do nice work !   Great little kits...

They seem a bit too expensive for a kit, but they seem like a complete unit with some thought to expansion.

At £23 uk that Bob paid, the price seems very reasonable to me.

The 14 schottky diodes alone would cost you near that. Normally you don't get your rectifier thrown in with the cost of a controller.

I have some reservations about the thing but I have no issue with the cost.
