Hey all,
i have a grounding question, all the circuits i have seen to do with 240V AC have confused me a bit..
the three wires coming in are L/N/and E... L and N go to your transformer (in my application)... on the other side you have the 4 diodes and capacitors, the symbol for ground is the TRIANGLE, and the symbol for the EARTH WIRE goes to CHASSIS GROUND...
Now my project will ONLY have the plug connection, i.e 3 wires going into it, so where do i connect all my SIGNAL GROUNDS too? (triangle symbol). Is it safe to ground EVERYTHING to the E wire?
With NO ground connected, i get 5v from my 5v regulator, with a floating ground... is this normal as that seems odd 2 me...and will this work ok?
When i tie all my signal grounds to the E wire, the wire gets VERY HOT (its 16G wire, like normal cable... the hot wire indicates it doesnt like me connecting this up... any ideas? any help would be WKD... Heres part of the ckt...
