Re: Parallel Regulators
That's a lot of regulators and heat sinks. Full current specs of regulators include that they are heatsinked. Many manufactors have schematics of regulators useing series pass transistors to increase the regulators current capacity. less space less heatsinks and it will work correctly. joe

Re: Reducing power surge on AC adapter
I don't think u can, The inrush is so high that the DC to Ac inverter stalls and won't start. Some short time fix could be the tempture of where u are operating the inverter cold temps will cause your problem and too small of wire size on the DC input side of the inverter. Had this same problem with...

Re: Small Fan with Flap?
How about the type of exhaust cap found on large trucks. Metal counter weighted flap valves good model to start with maybe.

Re: green and blue track in protel
Like AutoCad or Orcad different elements in a drawing are on different layers and are different colors. for P.C. layout they could be traces on the top side and a different color for the back side, or power supply lines positive and negitive ect,ect. Where they intersect could be a via where the con...

Re: Metal detecting
Some use magnetic seperators for this problem,or vibration or size weight differences.. the plastic parts fall on to a screen which they can not pass through but the metal will some times aided by vibrating the screen or the container that the material stream falls into ... or strong pm magnets that...

Re: DC-AC converter
design of even a small wattage inverter is not easy. Things u have to consider is transfer power,transformer loss, counter emf of transformer fields effect on switching transistors, bootstrap starting (inverter stall on start up only one side turns on and the other off in a static condition) If u ar...

Re: How a Power inverter works?
not a simple as it sounds 12 volts d.c. to 120/240 a.c. is very poor conversion ratio for any high current designs. d.c. curent in is the same as current out a.c. less losses. 135 volt d.c. would be smaller for high current large inverters bigger than 5 or 600 watts use PWM control and IGBT transist...

Re: 1v to 5v output
what it sounds like you have a dancer contoller board which takes a 1-5 0-10 volts input from a variable reluctance transducer ( detects arm position on take-up reel in winding operation ..tape ,duct ,wire ,ect controls take-up speed as the build on the spool drum increases in size slows down the re...

Re: Automotive dual battery question
the smaller cable only has have the current flow in it thus smaller cable to the other battery the larger wire carries all the current for the starter 700 amps

Re: Amps or watts?
crowbar you got it right.....but u can measure across the fuse while current is flowing through it this voltage drop times known current through fuse will tell you the loss in watts of the connections in this parallel arrangement and how balanced the current flow is and this number will probably var...

Re: Heating element
you are not shorting out the battery in that case.. the short resistance would need to be lower than the internal resistance of the battery...which can be .0003 ohms or there abouts it is very low.<p> joe

Re: 12VDC to 110VAC
if u use a inverter or a ups .. which is a batery charger + inverter + a switch to connect the load to the inverter or to the main power lines. the in rush will require at least 10 times load for the inverter to supply..inverters at low voltages on the dc side need lots of amps ( load = 20 amps tota...

Re: 480VAC Transformer
if u can find a neutral, 277 volts is doable. but to find the ratio u want may be hard to find..maybe using a regular trans former as auto former if u don't need isolation or can obtain isolation in a different section of the circuit u are going to use we use a multi tap xformer to get feedback for ...
