Thermistors and Flyback Diodes: Motor Protection in Action

In the world of motors, sparks can fly, sometimes quite literally! When you turn off a motor, the sudden drop in current can create a voltage spike. This surge can harm sensitive electronic components like transistors and controllers. That’s where thermistors and flyback diodes come into play, working together to protect your motor. Thermistors: Temperature-Sensitive Protectors Picture the motor as a coil packed with energy. When you suddenly stop it … Continue Reading
