3-phase installations like industrial facilities and some apartments are fed with 208V 3-phase, which provide three phases of 120V to neutral, or 208V phase-to-phase.

This makes no sense when you’re designing a heater. The higher the current, the hotter the wire will be. That’s why power companies transmit power at high voltage in the first place: they want to minimize heating. 120 watts flowing through a wire does NOT mean that 120 watts of heat are dissipated in it. You’ll get a much more efficient heater at lower voltages and higher currents.

Step 1:  To find the voltage rating of the MOV, allow for 20% headroom to account for voltage swell and power-supply tolerances: 24 V dc × 1.2 = 28.8 V dc. Given that no varistors have a voltage rating of exactly 28.8 V, check the datasheets for specifications for 31-V dc MOVs.

The back-EMF voltage generated across the start winding causes a small current to flow in the start winding and potential relay coil, because they are in the same circuit. When the back-EMF has built up to a high enough value (referred to as pick-up voltage), the contacts between terminals 1 and 2 will be picked up (“opened”). This will take the start capacitor out of the circuit.

I’ve left perhaps the most salient characteristic of the Sony AF55 and A33′s EVF till last: It’s huge. The view through the Sony A33′s eyepiece is much more akin to that of a full-frame DSLR than that of any competing sub-frame model currently on the market. It manages this with a comfortably high eye point (and plenty of dioptric adjustment) for eyeglass wearers, at least when simply viewing the live viewfinder image itself.

I’ve spent four to eight years in apprentice school learning how to plan, install, inspect, and repair electrical products. Don’t insult my intelligence by implying otherwise.

While the Sony A33 and A55′s viewfinder display led to a bit of a learning curve for tracking fast action, its buffer-clearing speed is an ongoing issue. The A55 can capture shots with amazing speed, but once its buffer is filled, things slow down dramatically. The A33, for its part, has a smaller buffer, but it takes less time to clear. The most irritating point with the A55 was that it seemed to take forever before it would let me look at what I’d just shot. This is certainly more of an issue for a relatively inexperienced user than a pro sports photographer, but I often found myself wanting to check out what I’d just shot before the next action sequence started so I could note and correct for any problems in my shooting style. If I’d filled the buffer, though, it took upwards of 15-18 seconds before I could even view the first image on the LCD — and a good while longer before the buffer was completely empty and the camera was back to its maximum burst-length capacity. Shoot RAW+JPEG and it takes 32 seconds to clear a maximum of 18 images, while the A33 only captures 7 images and takes 12 seconds to clear. Advantage A33.

I can’t speak for the Model 3 since I don’t know anyone who owns one yet, and Tesla has removed charging rates at 110 volts from their distance calculator.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been clear that, aside from any spending bills, Republicans’ priority for the end of the year is to keep pushing judges through — and if Flake holds on this issue, it could throw a wrench into that plan.

Though, how ever, even with a heat pump, one could lower the power bill a bit more if one takes the power when it is cheapest.

What about converting down to 12-24v AC for the bed with a ZVC switch going to the controller? It seems that running it off DC is wasteful but mains is relatively risky.

What about putting a uC in SSRs, so you can ask the think if it’s an original part or not. Propper encryption needs to be implemented of course.
