What to Consider When Buying and Installing a Home Electric Vehicle Charging Station | Circuit Breaker Parts
But even so, you’re not likely to be arrested for adding your own electrics, I dunno that it’s actually illegal. Charging money for it would be different. But I can imagine insurance companies would hold it against you. Any excuse, of course. You’ll have to check the teeny-weeny print in your pol...Read more -
Select the Right Varistors for Overvoltage Circuit Protection | 19mm Momentary Push Button
If Handheld Twilight and Multi-Frame NR modes are practical, Sweep Panorama is just plain fun. I’ve always been a fan of panoramic images, and spent more time than I care to remember back in the film days slicing and splicing together 4×6-inch prints with a razor blade and rubber cemen...Read more -
Samsung’s 2018 TVs now support FreeSync for smoother gaming | Circuit Breaker Parts
OK … back to the task at hand. Anyone care to comment on how a toaster oven is wired? How about a thermal blanket? None of these use a 12V or 24V switching power supply brick, so how do they do it??? SSRs can actually contain what is used here: optocoupler+triac or they may use optocoupler+mosfet...Read more -

Who’s really being silenced on Twitter? | 220v Contactor Relay
For the voltage setting, I thought that wattage equaled volts times amps? Shouldn’t the waste heat be the same regardless of whether it’s drawing ten amps at 120 or five amps at 240? Or is it more complex and nonlinear than that? I’m curious. On our case a combo was the right solution. We use a c...Read more -
Tom Baker is turning his long-lost Doctor Who movie script into a novel | 19mm Momentary Push Button
Precisely, there is no need to reinvent the wheel (even though is more fun). This even has basic temperature control, just add a digital readout and an arduino somwhere. My first job in the trades was as an electrician’s apprentice doing tasks, such as pulling wire, building light fixtures, and m...Read more -
AMP Seeks More PJM Scrutiny of TO Projects | 220v Contactor Relay
I liked your article. It had a lot of good pointers for others. It may be a good idea to add a red indicator between neutral and ground for the two incoming 120v lines. That way, if the hot and neutral are reversed, the light will come on. If ever there was a right time to change the name, it’s n...Read more -
Who’s really being silenced on Twitter? | Circuit Breaker Parts
Why do the US still use 110v mains and 20A room circuit breakers? Those currents are dangerous, not the volts. The skin depth varies with the magnetic permeability of the material. Iron for example reacts at very low frequencies, so much so that it becomes useless for wires at 50 Hz. Great reason...Read more
