Q&A Adding resistance to varactor circuit

in my schematic we must add R1 correct? No. Ultimately you are adjusting the varactor with a DC voltage that has a certain impedance. You can think of it as a Thevenin source. In your case, the...

Q&A Motor Controller - What might be the purpose of these resistors?

I'd guess surge resistance and redundancy, rather than power dissipation. Looks like 10 stages of 5x parallel 2k going left to right?? So that's 10x400 = 4k. Perhaps used for parallel damping the...

Your basic problem is that the motor needs some applied power to generate any EMF, but if you apply that power then its not an open circuit test. For a true induction motor you're probably stuck. ...
