Switch Mode Power Supplies have at minimum 20 mS hold-up.? In reality they have more, but not necessarily a lot more. I built a factory control system for the DOE way back when and used an
In 1986 I was attending an Army Satellite terminal training class? at Ft. Gordon, GA. Had a bad storm that night that shut down our terminal. I'd been writing a letter on the Heathkit. H89 computer
Yep. Higher the frequency the lighter the wiring can be. Back in the day, aircraft electronics were run at 400hz, instead of the 60hz we use in households and industry. Switching would save a lot on
It's what I mentioned about modern power supplies, an inverter welder is a SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply).? It converts the mains power to DC.? Then Switches that at a high frequency.? This
I wonder how make they make inverter welders so light today. It was Aluminum winding onsecondary side now they lighter. Now it is high frequency is about what know. Dave
Higher frequency uses less iron, not copper. It has to do with how much magnetic field the transformer core can hold. Slower frequency means more time to charge the core, so more iron needed. Modern
I noticed at first the 25 amp breaker. That is only 6,000 watts. My home is only 100 amp main at 240 center Tap 120 is 24,000 watts. I have wonder why 50 or 60 Hz . If up frequency you drop copper
In the UK the power is 240V, 50Hz.? Outlets are often wired in a ring, not just one linear connection. Here we have 220V, 50Hz.? On the poles is 3 phase WYE, so 220V from any leg to the common and
I agree The color code has always been problematic. This one happen to me. Everyone knows green ground and black is hot. But at one time in electronics black was ground and green was high voltage. The
Note that color codes have changed over the years, so you have to match the color chart with the year your building was wired.? I hear the UK really swapped colors around. Always check with a meter,
I had one cross reference at time for European, UK , JAPAN,? CHINA & and few other countries. I do not know what happened but found on internet around 1998. But retirement I did think I need that
