    36 volt AC to 120 volt AC transformer

    hi there as above wonder is there somewhere I could purchase a 36 volt ac to 120 volt ac transformer. I am using it to connect an American imported power supply control unit for a push pull wire feed gun to a uk 3 phase welder. The power supply for the gun requires 120volt ac in and the welder I...

    Power problems

    I recently got interested in ebikes/mopeds. after some searching I decided that until I learned more about the subject, I am not going to spend thousands up front. the lead acid batteries that came with it are junk. here is a solution that I think can work. The moped I bought is 36 volt 1000...

    12V-7A AC to DC Switching Power Supply [SMPS]

    The maximum power delivery of this power supply is 84W, which means it can handle 7A continuously at 12V output. The transformer can deliver higher currents, however, the educational purpose (hand winding of the transformer) and thermal stress on the switching controller were considered (the...

    Modeling Microcontroller Load

    So I'm trying to learn power supply design. I'm playing with some SMPS examples and tutorials. The examples I have found just show a generic load, capacitive load, or a resistive load. I've even seen resistors in parallel w/ a current source. How does one typically model a microcontroller...

    Low Noise 45V-4A Dual Rail Power Supply Using Enhanced Capacitance Multiplier

    The core element of any electronic device is the power supply. Any instability or malfunction of the power supply causes the device to malfunction or demonstrate weird behavior. In some sensitive applications, we need a dual voltage-rail power supply to prepare a high current and low noise...

    Power supply change - can I use this new one?

    Good evening, I have recently inherited a table lamp - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B3LPDFST/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which came with a power supply (see photo). The power supply is rated at 11V at 0.5A, 5.5W max, max 12V. The cable was too short so I bought a...

    HELP: Induction hob power supply fault (incorrect voltage to rectifier)

    Hi everyone, I have a CDA HVN91FR induction hob that partly works. 2 hobs (connected to one PCB board) are not working. The other 3 are. Can't see any visual damage/problems. Upon closer inspection, the power supplied to the rectifier in the 'dead' PCB seems too high. In the working PCB board...

    Filament power supply

    Hi I have a question about switching power supply 5v 30 amps. When I'm connecting it to tungsten filament wire 0.5 mm 3 cm long , after a time the power supply stops working. I think this is because of short protection. Are there any way to bypass this or you can advise me with another type of...

    Power supply for a tethered drone

    There is a drone which I'm experimenting with and want to move from batteries to a 2-15 meters 14AWG tethered cable. The drone voltage is 15-21 Volts and consumes up to 200 Amps. What would be the best method of searching for and the best brand, model and condition new or used, to find a good...

    5v 2Amp usb charger without handshake

    how risky is building a 5v 2Amp usb charger without any handshake capability? Would devices just pull the amps that they need/can handle, or am I running the risk of breaking devices?

    Power Supply Build

    I am a computer technician with some electronics understanding, but not enough to build circuits on my own. I have built a 5-node cluster computer out of old Acer Aspire One Netbooks just for fun but I wanted to make a new power supply for it to reduce some of the clutter. I want to have one...

    MOS Tube GS Waveform Analysis

    For power supply engineers, we look at waveforms many times, including input waveforms, MOS switching waveforms, current waveforms, output diode waveforms, chip waveforms, and GS waveforms of MOS tubes. Let’s take the GS waveform of the switch as an example to talk about the GS waveform. When...

    Battery charging

    Please I have some couple of 3.6v 3Ah cylindrical li-ion battery, but since I bought them, charging it became a huge problem. I first connected a single one to a 2A infinix phone charger (made in china. According to the ratings, it capable of adjusting output current and voltage to load)thinking...

    24vdc to 12vdc converter

    So normally I can solve most electronics problems on my own, but this one has me puzzled and I created this account to see if anyone else has some thoughts. I have a 24-26vdc power source that checks for short circuits on the load line before applying full power by using a 3vdc testing voltage...

    Current limiter for my power supply

    Recently, I bought a lab power supply, wich has no short circuit protection. Is there any component or circuit wich limits the current without any voltage losses? I know, I could use a Resistor, but they cannot output for example 2.9 amps at 1 Volt. My power supply supports 3 amps and 15 Volts...
