The issue I have is...
Would a small UPS, running on batteries, be a suitably stable 230v 50hz supply while I do some tinkering with the loop calibration settings on an old Robin 1610?
Any better idea's that don't cost a lot?
This is entirely a hobby project and not worth investing in lots of equipment for,.

My original inverter installed in 2012 was replaced by ABB in 2016 after failing with a E031 error, my replacement is now getting around 6 year old mark i’m wondering if the replacements have the same issue as the originals ?
The replacement unit is well out of warranty now and ABB no longer...
Hello,
So I noticed my fridge had lost power, disconnected it and tried a hoover in the same socket and this also wouldn't work. I tried the fridge in a different socket and this worked fine.
I checked the main fuse box and nothing has tripped. The RCD is still in the on position. I tried...
Hi chaps
Customer has asked me about installing a mains supply to a 16amp UPS on their server.
The UPS hasn’t come with a power cord, the customer has searched Amazon for a 16Amp IEC C19 lead which comes with a 13Amp plug top, should it be supplied directly to the CU on a 16amp RCBO on a...
Hello, I want to have my battery as a main power source so I can plug it in to my device which have this coaxial power connector(outside using). Everything I need is to cut this EU Plug split the wires and connect to the battery, which one is the positive and negative wire?
There is power flowing. I have checked with multimeter. One light on the line works..even replaced the switch it is connected to. Rest of line still down. Been down for months since a large storm although no indications of lightening strike. Replaced breaker on Sunday...no dice. On Tuesday power...
I plugged in my 50A marine shore power cable but received no power on my boat. The receptable at the pedestal definitely delivers power and when I test with my DMM, i read 117V between W and G at the end of my shore cable to my boat. There is sitting a device at my boats fuse box which shows a...
Hello everyone, I want to ask a question that I am sure will be easy for you, because I am not sure of the answer, but I am sure it is very easy for someone who is knowledgeable enough. Input 100-240V. 2.5 A - Output 24V. I have a 5A power supply, Should the fuse I need to connect before the...
I currently have a 100 amp sub panel for a 50 amp RV hookup (on a 60 amp breaker). This is about 100ft from the main with 2/4 wiring.
Would a 12000w generator plugged into RV hookup power the house? I think the issue would be limited amps so I could only run one of the following at a time:
1)...
Hi,
Just been looking into powerline adaptors and just wondering how they work. I read that they operate on far higher frequencies to mains power, but if that's the case why don't you have to separate band 1 and 2 like in other applications?
Just hoping to find out the reasons
Cheers Lads
Hi there
I have a few questions related to the power ratings of certain devices and how this interplays with the fuse. The reason I am asking this is whether I can safely add new plug sockets off an existing 3A fused spur (I plan to only use these plug sockets for low power devices).
The...
Hey guys and gals.
We bought a small office trailer that is wired up. It's never seen mains power and uses a generator disconnect (220). I read up on the myriad of code situations for bonding and then grounding, neutral switching etc. and came to the conclusion this would fall under separately...
Purchased a Panasonic VL-SWD275 video intercom from Australia to replace my 2-wire intercom in the US. The Panasonic VL-SWD275 requires 220v and 24v DC at 6amps. I purchased and installed a Zerone AC 100-240V to DC 24V 6-9A Switching Electricity Supply Module 150W step-ups transformer into the...
I know this is a long shot but I am trying to find a simple electrical component that does not seem to be available. Wondering if anyone here has seen one and could post a link to it. I am looking for a recessed flanged covered male 15 amp shore power receptacle that I could mount through the...
Hi,
I am in the process of setting up a diesel heater to warm our conservatory and need to provide 12v power to it. I have purchased a CCTV distribution box which essentially has a 30amp convertor wired to distribution board. My plan is to remove the distribution board and wire the power...
