    Driving transformer primary side with TRIAC

    I am a bit new in power electronics, and I made this PCB to control a heating element using burst fire control mode. I am using a burst window of 20 half periods and in the two scope screenshots I am sending a burst of 10/20 half periods. Everything works great when driving a resistive load...

    Electronic transformer - Missing 12V secondary

    Hello. I bought two electronic transformers (220VAC -> 12VAC) to power GU5.3 LED light bulbs that are installed on my suspended ceiling. The two modules are brand new. When connecting a light bulb, it doesn't light at all. When trying to measure the secondary with my multimeter, I don't have...

    Automotive Fusebox Testing

    Hi, I have a 1993 Honda and it needs a new fusebox because essentially that year used a built-in ELD sensor that is essentially a mini transformer used for current sensing and the sensor died. I am hesitant to just go to a junkyard without knowing how to properly test a fusebox to make sure...

    Smps transformer rewinding

    Hi Good afternoon all. My smps HF transformer secondary output is 12 volt 33 amp. I want to increase voltage 24 volt . ampere 5 amp is sufficient for me. Can i increase the secondary turns. Secondary has multi strand, so can i do half the strands and double turns. Or do i need to rewind primary...

    High voltage power supply design with off the shelf components?

    Hi, I have been reading a lot about flyback driver circuits for generating high voltages. Tutorials on Youtube are a dime a dozen describing minimalist circuits to drive automotive ignition coils and similar. However these tutorials rarely describe the underlying design theory and considerations...

    Explore other ways to use NiMH charger

    Hello friends, i have an old kodak rechargeable battery charger but nowadays we mostly have Li-ion batteries. I had got this charger with a digital camera. It clearly states to use only NiMH batteries, but i don't have any NiMH batteries and so this charger isn't in use since a long time. I am...

    Basic question from one rusty on passives

    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...
