Power goes out when pc turns on – Components | 220v Contactor Relay

One aspect of ac motor protection is the surge-withstand capability of the motor itself. Paragraph 20.36.4 of the NEMA motor generator standard MG-1 defines a unit value of surge as:   u × VL-L (or 0.816 × VL-L) where VL-L is the line-to-line voltage of the ac power system.

And use a power circuit with a differential circuit breaker so if you touch live wire it will disconnect.

If it is a three phase installation then there are four wires run. These are three phases and the star centre point or neutral.

You have right, a isolated SMPS is used. The Microchip solution presented above will not work properly because of the ESP Module power requirements.

The ESD protective wrist strap should not tie you to a hard ground, it usually has a 1Meg resistor included, just for this reason. But perhaps not every cheap chinese one has?

I worked in telephony for many years, and the ring voltage can be as high as 180 bolts at various frequencies, but, rather low current. In really old telco systems it may also be a square wave.

Norm, remember your high school electrical classes, and don’t confuse the young ‘uns here. I’m sure you’ll recall that halving the current reduces losses (heating) in a conductor to one quarter: losses are proportional to the square of the current.

I was trying to make a point: the design uses an zero crossing detector so it cannot dim, therefore there is no point in complaining that a relay would not be useful for dimming.

Is it possible, that the discreet triplers (vs. diode split transformer) were in the time of BW-TV? They had lower power. Or the guy tested the AC before the tripler, I think that would make a great difference. Although I also would not do this intentionally. There would also be a nice arc to a grounded screw driver, if you want to test the HT – without any current path through myself, what I really prefer. The electrician, whom you mention, did he really die while testing for voltage with his hand, or was his accident unrelated to this?

Not always, you have to think on a global scope here before saying generalizations! In the UK a lot of houses are on what they call PME or protected multiple earths, where the earth bond goes back to the substation as a extra conductor. If you are in one of these properties and are not aware of it, and have your own ground system or leakage you can end up being lower impedance than the substation ground and grounding out faults in your neighbors properties which are also on the same bond. Where I am in europe, all the houses are individually bonded to their own low impedance earth, and the inspector comes out with a megga tester and tests its impedance before they will sign you off to connect to the public supply. It has to be below 50ohms total from any gnd pin on any socket in the property I remember from my inspection. I laid a load of mesh subfloor before pouring the floor so I had no problems with meeting spec. A nice low impedance earth will make your rcd and protection devices even more sensitive also.

Pick-up voltage usually occurs when the motor has reached about three-fourths of its speed. The start winding is still in the back-EMF circuit, keeping the relay’s coil energized while the motor is running at full speed.

One of the best ways to show your appreciation is telling your family and friends about me. My business thrives on word-of-mouth recommendations.
