For a project I need an adjustable current source with a maximum output of 10A. This current will be used to make an electromagnet, the coil of the magnet has a resistance of 1,590 ohm, sow the maximum power will be around 16V.
I can't find any schematics of such a supply on the internet, can anybody give me some information on this?
I believe the resistance is 1.59 ohms (USA notation) thus the need for 16V to get 10A.
Any standard bench power supply that will provide 10A at 16V will work. Many companies make such supplies. If you Google "10a adjustable power supply" you'll get many hits.
I know it is possible to buy such a source, but it have to make my own.
The LM3886 (**broken link removed**) can deliver a current up to 11500 mA. But I don't think the circuit mentioned on the above page meets my requirements.
Can anybody help me with an alternative circuit?
