mains

I am constructing a filter unit that is intended to allow visualisation (on a scope) and measurement of high-frequency interference on 240v UK mains by means of a high-pass filter to remove the 50 Hz component. What would be the best (and safest) circuit to isolate the unit from the mains while...

Hi all, I'm making a custom application and I need a source for a device that takes 300mA - 48VAC at 50 Hz to power. I can easily get the 48V, but how can I get it to 50 Hz? All I've got so far is just trying to rectify it and then using a function generator, but is there another way that wont...

Hello all, New to the forum and came here to get some more information about simulating mains voltage Triac circuits. My issue is the following; I have an opto-isolated TRIAC control circuit for a resistive load (water boiler). I know that Triacs generally have a junction voltage drop of ~1-3V...

Hi, I recently had a fault occurring whilst connecting my laptop to my mixing desk whilst having multiple new DMX fixtures connected to a USB interface. Whilst checking for faults I discovered a voltage of about 80-90V between the DMX port on the fixture and the Earth Connector. Knowing that the...
