    Had every 120V load in the house on, bathroom fans, range hood lights and fan, furnace, squirrel heater, had everything on. (Not sure if the deep freezer or either refridge were cycling on thou, oh well) Had to move a few wires around BUT, I somehow feel better now, not so lopsided...

    Moving axles; inches vs % need help

    Since our given data is the boat on the trailer and weights/distances are given as such. Also, the proposed change will be to move the axles (fulcrum) point about the tongue, I believe then, modeling has to be done as a single entity and is the best/easiest (less given different sets of...

    Self Regulating AC Phase Controller for Heater

    Last 5 days/nights..........Have heater temp set to 60 F, the thermostat (temp sensor) is up near the ceiling in the nest, didn't want the chewies laying on it and throwing it off. So by the numbers, it appears there is about a 5 degree gradient from where my internet temp monitor is reading...

    Furnace Blower ECM module questions

    Controller/Inverter sounds bad, however to feel better about the motor before you buy a new controller brd, you can/should make a quik check on the three (orange, purple, green) phase winding for proper consistent resistance from one phase winding to the other (or--> grn, grn--> pur, pur-->or)...

    Air Compressor Zero Pressure Safety Cutoff Switch

    The rep for this stuff called me up after seeing that pic of the blow out and said they went to all alum on all their stuff. See "PPS1 UN" superceeds mine now I guess That specific coupler that blew, is only plastic on the blue nuts though the and main body/housing are all alum....hmmmm...

    Air Compressor Zero Pressure Safety Cutoff Switch

    Called the guy who sold me my setup this afternoon, told him what happened and I wanted and he is getting these I think, he wasn't sure what they were called BUT, these are the ticket!! Going to see him tomorrow after fishing....thx Scott. I don't do any sand blasting or such, some air tools...

    Air Compressor Zero Pressure Safety Cutoff Switch

    I have a small compressed air setup in my garage where I have two drops to regulators, hose reels etc., etc. where both drops come down from a ceiling run that runs from on side of garage to the other. Two compressors are "T'd" into the system run yada yada. I leave the system charged (150PSI)...

    Main Motor and Kicker Alternator Wiring

    Don't need a "charging diode" per-se.........Due to that each rec/reg's (even in I/O alts, see EXAMPLE image just below) in each motor (I/O or OB) inherently use rectifying diodes in their output circuity, by default, you have OR'ing diodes ("charging diodes") built in. This is also why two...

    BF9.9 Rectifier

    Don't think it's brown-white for negative.......Looks to me brown-white heads off to the thermal valve. Think it's just the black lead for negative and yes, white for positive 12V. Then the two grays to the stator charge winding's.

    Self Regulating AC Phase Controller for Heater

    ExpressPCB file here if interested.... Spazzed the PCB layout by hand, no net list and no auto routing, I think I got it all though :smash: I added a 6 pin header for programing, I use Microchip Pickit3 hence the 12F1840 (U6).

    Self Regulating AC Phase Controller for Heater

    Testing with 44W Nichrome bath heater, most likely 99.9% similar to Nichrome 200W pad. Full power warming up to 90F, only 60hz present as expected. At 90F, chopping when stabilized, few harmonics popping up, quiet as mud out in the great beyond.........

    Self Regulating AC Phase Controller for Heater

    Ya know..........I'll just put the pad IN the heat box!! Not rolled up but, curved a bit up on one edge!! 200W is 200W regardless if its a bulb or silicone covered nichrome or carbon, nor does it matter, in this case, if its stuck on something (the wood) or not. 200W of radiating heat of...

    Self Regulating AC Phase Controller for Heater

    Heat tape(nichrome wire) with bi-metal stat? Very safe, easy yes, on/off yes, like it BUT, not enough heat/area if so.....Heat box sits underneath, it's same W x L as house but, is perhaps 18" deep Not sure what this beast is, gotta link? and just was :D​
