Hi.
I am trying to limit the current draw (below 1A) of a car door actuator (this wont be used in a car). It requires 12V to fully actuate at its max speed. The problem with these actuators is that when the arm is fully extended or contracted, and 12V is still being apply, it would draw more than 1A.
Not looking for a fuse to prevent going over 1A, but a limiter to keep it drawing under 1A. Hope that makes sense.
Can anyone suggest a circuit to do such thing?
Thanks
