I want to magnetise some assemblies with neodymium magnets. The magnets cannot be supplied in the magnetised state, because the field of the magnets outside their assemblies could be dangerous. Also,assembling a live magnet will almost certainly cost a finger or two.
The magnetising coil will need a lot of amp turns, and if I have a lot of turns I have a lot of inductance, which means that with a low voltage it will take a long time to build up the amps I need. In this time the coil will melt. So I need a lot of volts to get the current up FAST, then dump the energy before the coil current reverses.
Unless anyone knows better?
