    Automotive Cable

    Does anyone know of any manufacturers that make multiconductor cable for auto/truck applications? I need a 2 pair cable. All the industrial cable I look at is rated at 300V, which seems very excessive. I would think that there must be cable that's rated maybe 50V just for cars/trucks.

    24V Charging System Voltage

    Does anyone know what the system voltage is for a 24 Volt vehicle whiling it is running? On a 12 Volt system, the running voltage is actually around 14 volts, I believe. I need to know if my electronics will be ok for a system that is installed in Europe on a 24V truck.

    Truck Wiring

    Is there an SAE standard that gives recommendations on wiring practices on trucks, fire trucks to be exact? We are designing a new product that will be installed onto a fire truck. I would like to make sure that our wiring is compliant with the SAE standard.

    Tubing used as Conduit?

    We are designing a new product that goes on a fire truck. My boss likes the look of a stainless steel braid and wants to use Teflon hose with a stainless braid as the electrical conduit. I told him I didn't like it, mainly because it's plumbing, but I don't actually have a technical reason. I...

    DC Brush Motor Commutation Count

    Has anyone ever heard of a control scheme that counts the commutations on a DC brush motor? I assume that there is some circuit that counts spikes on the current. This count could then be used in place of an encoder.

    Incremental Encoder

    I am designing a new product that uses 2 dcpm motors to control horizontal and vertical positioning. Due to cost we would like to use an incremental encoder. Has anyone ever used an incremental encoder and continuously saved the position so in case of a power failure, the position will be...
