    Identifying diodes

    I need help identifying diodes in a 1980 Marantz Amplifier. There are two diodes in series. They are connected at the cathodes. One is marked A27 and the other simply has an H as the only marking. These were added to the amplifier after production because they are not on the schematic. They are...

    Triac Blowing

    Good Afternoon I am busy building a static VAR compensator for a project and i need to use TRIACS to switch in my capacitor banks. The system is 3 phase 400 VAC and consists of 3 motors with varying loads. There is a system that determines the power factor and switches in the capacitors. Today...

    Pan/Tilt Head need help designing circuit

    Hello everybody, I am planning on making a motorized Pan/Tilt head to go on a camera jibcrane. My electronics knowledge isn't too well, so I'd wanted to ask all the amazing people here. My plan was to use two 12volt DC motors, powered by a battery pack, to drive the axis, controlled by a...

    Need help with storing some data onto Register.

    Once again, I'm stuck on a (likely) not so complex issue but I lack the proper vocabulary to find the answer quickly on Google. Long story short, I've made a calculator using two, 4-Bit BCD Full adders. The part that this post concerns is in between the Input (0-9 Keypad and Decoder) and the BCD...
