continuing akismetuser212339447″ Using a mechanical relay for your thermal control _may_ make you crazy with the clicking. If you think you can take the madness, keep an eye on the make/break current rating, and the lifetime switching at the design current. Switching current and voltage is often far less than carrying current, and electrical contact life is short compared to mechanical life (Switching at zero crossing will help). Also note that failure mode of relays is possibly contacts fused closed – design with safety in mind, and have some sort of feedback. Something like a thermal cutoff fuse?

And another actually bigger reason for using DC instead of AC is when one wants x amount of mega watts of battery backed power, and converting that from DC to AC to DC again is rather inefficient, compared to just sending out the DC directly.

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.

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.

well, originally they were 2 kW transformers (or at least from microwaves that are rated to 2-2.5 kW), and on secondary is wounder stranded thick wire (diametar around 7-8mm)… enought power to melt nails with 3-4 mm diametar…

For example, putting 1 mA through a 1 MOhm resistor requires 1000 Volts. The current itself is barely noticeable and if it’s high frequency current you’re unlikely to feel pain – it’s just a funny spark that kinda tickles at your fingertip – but it’s still depositing 1 Watts of power into the resistance.

It would require a molded socket attached to an edge with a standard IEC polarized C7 connector. No exposed conductors anywhere. Could embed a green light for powered up and a red one for hot into the socket molding.

And even today people give the advice of plugging a computer in the wall and grabbing the metal case as you’re working inside it. Bad idea – if the PSU has failed, you may very well have live voltages in the boards.

Varistors primarily consist of arrays of zinc-oxide (ZnO) balls, in which the ZnO was altered with small amounts of other metal oxides such as bismuth, cobalt, or manganese. In the MOV manufacturing process, these balls are sintered (fused) into a ceramic semiconductor. This produces a crystalline microstructure that allows these devices to dissipate very high levels of transient energy across their entire bulk. After sintering, the surface is metallized, and leads are attached via soldering.

Flake, along with Sens. Chris Coons (D-DE) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), attempted for the second time to schedule a floor vote on the bill protecting Mueller on Wednesday, but it was blocked by Sen. Mike Lee, who argued that the legislation was unconstitutional (a longstanding conservative argument, explained by Vox’s Tara Golshan here). The bill would ensure that Mueller could only be fired by a Senate-confirmed DOJ official and enable the special counsel to review any firing.

Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance Company, which manages about $777.78 million US Long portfolio, decreased its stake in Raytheon Co (NYSE:RTN) by 2,000 shares to 1,600 shares, valued at $331,000 in 2018Q3, according to the filing.
