Coil driver for Arduino
#1
Hello everyone,

didn't know where to put this, so I am putting it here. I need a driver to drive coils with a square wave that I get from an Arduino. I used IBT_2 BTS7960, but since my coils are rather thin and long (1000 turns of 0.3 mm wire), I need about 50 V to drive them, but the BTS7960 can withstand only 27V and it broke down. Are there other Arduino compatible motor drivers that I could use to drive coils at least 60 V and 3 A?

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

What about just running the output through a doorbell transformer backwards? They are something like 10 to 1. 

From what I've seen, a regular transformer like that usually preserves a square wave just fine if it is alternating polarities

Thanks Jim, cool idea. The H-bridge can withstand 43 A so I can send the power through current rather than voltage and transform it after the H bridge. That should work.
