    Measuring current using a Shunt Resistor & an Oscilloscope

    Hi people, I'm new using forums for this kind of purposes, so please forgive me if I can't explain myself well, also if this is the wrong sub-forum please tell me ¡. I have to measure the output current & voltage of a High Frecuency, High Voltage transformer, I can measure the Output Voltage...

    Problem with too much wattage.

    Hi everyone, Starting off; i'm new here, because I have a problem with a light sign I made. The sign has 15 25Watt lights, and burns very bright. I was looking to put a dimmer on there, but i cant seem to find a dimmer which can handle 375Watt. Also it burns way too bright on its own. So I was...

    Voltage drop - series resistors

    I have a question in a mock exam paper for the 202 exam. It asks "Four resistors in series have the voltage drops across them of 37V,55V,19V and 9V. Calculate the supply voltage. I'm struggling with how to approach this. I know how to work out VD but that requires more information (current)...

    Homemade loop checkbox

    Hi to all, This is my first post, I thought I aught to contribute as I often dip in for the wealth of information and interesting debate, please excuse me if this is in the wrong place or already been done. I had a hour or 2 spare so with a handfull of bits from the van I've put together a...

    Series parallel combination resistance.

    Just spotted this on my facebook feed :juggle2: and thought it may be a good exercise for people to have a go at. What is the total resistance (Rt) of the circuit? :book::)

    Hi... need some help with this circuit connection

    Hi everyone. My name is Tim and I need some help. I am looking at a motorised pack I am using to clean windows. I want to add a variable resistor, I think they are called potentiometers. I am wondering though, where should I put it and what value should I get? I think maybe 100 OHM? Hope the...

    Touch sensor light switch

    Firstly, I understand normal domestic electrics, but not electronics. I have a 240v 'capacitance touch sensor' light switch, see I LumoS Luxury Crystal Glass 1 Gang 1 Way Touch On/Off LED Light Switches | eBay The blurb states a minimum load of 3 watts. It works perfectly when used to switch...

    Can you work out the value of the resistor?

    Hi guys, Just wondering if you can help me on this one, I have a RLC series circuit the values are as below; R = unknown L = 800mH C = 300uF from there I have calculated; the resonant frequency to be 10.3Hz the capacitive reactance 51.50 ohms The reason I need to know is I need to work...

    fluorescent dimmer...... help...

    not come across one of these before. it's dimming 2 x 1200 recessed florries.( 4 tubes each ). the actual dimmer switch has Lin and Lout, but also has 2 terminals + and - wired in telecom cable. ( so elv ). . don't know what's gone as lights don't work. tried a 1K dimmer, but then lights flicker...

    MAF/IAT resistor mod ripoff HELP PLZ

    Hello, I have an important question regarding those ripoff MAF/IAT resistor mods. Long story short I bought into one without much research, idiotically, and installed it about two weeks ago. I put about 100 miles on the car, 2013 mazdaspeed 3, before I realized the acceleration was a little...

    Who likes big resistor banks?

    Not really anything of much importance was just replacing a cutler & hammer resistor bank recently thought people may like a look. Motor can't remember entirely was around 75-100kw i think. I know of sort of how a resistor bank works, that its switched in series for start up to reduce current &...

    techincal knowledge needed

    Hi am an electrician with the following dilemma. I've installed 9 dimmable led's on a led dimmer but the minimum load of the dimmer is 60 watts. The lamps are 4.5 watts and only have a total load of 40.5watts When I dim them down they do so far then they begin to flicker. But when i install a...

    Jcc led7 lighting

    Hi Guys, im after some advise. I'm currently completing a job where I have installed a vast amount of Jcc led7 Downlights. The client got trailing edge dimmers which I have found out are made by varilight. The have minimum wattage of 40 watts which in some rooms is causing the light to turn off...

    What's that light called??

    Ok, bit of a silly one here, but what are the lights called where you span them from wall to wall with wire which is low voltage and have down lights along the wires? Trying to find them so any links would be great!

    4 pole RCD

    Hi chaps Having quite a heated discussion with a colleague about a 4 pole RCD. He originally installed a 30mA RCD which now needs to be changed to a 100mA, however the N is on the opposite side. He seems to think that putting L1 into N of the RCD, L2 into L1, L3 into L2 and Neutral into L3...
