Re: Electrical Improvements
Yes, I remember this exact situation when I was growing up in the 50s. The solution my father had was to not touch the stove and refrigerator at the same time.

Re: Electrical Improvements
Jim, A possibility I was thinking was if there's an open neutral then the ground now becomes a current carrier. If the ground potential is different between the fridge and the stove, current flows, a

Re: Electrical Improvements
There was a hood light and a hood fan. The oven didn't have a light. The 'fridge had a light. At the time I was very immersed in Mars Observer and was just glad the LL family treated me like family

Re: the WORST ham built amplifier?
From the looks of it, it appears the amp is only for 11 meters. With the small inductors and the caps missing plates, I bet it was designed with CB in mind. I also do not think that it has ever been

the WORST ham built amplifier?
I understand a chap in the UK has made the seller aware of the utter poor quality of this linear I wanted to know who built it with two plate chokes in series? At least they knew to place them at

Hi Jim Thanks, I? will chase it up the costs with Econco. I just have to ship from outside the USA so can be a bit complicated when Econco has agents that they prefer to send you to which doubles the

Re: Electrical Improvements
I wonder if one of the appliances had an open neutral? I know the range was probably 240 v but maybe it still used 120 v for some functions? Any opinions? Bob W4JFA [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Electrical Improvements
Bonding the stove frame to neutral, or to the grounding wire, serves to cause a circuit breaker to open if a fault within the stove tries to energize the frame New (after the mid 1990s) stoves are set

Re: My 2K-4
Isolating the neutral and grounding systems within the amplifier shouldn't be too hard, and I haven't installed the 120/240VAC circuit in the garage, so I have no excuse.? :-) Eric
