People are so fixated by the calculation of amount of liquid per mile, they can’t–and won’t–figure it out on the basis of how much money it costs to drive each mile.

I have one SSR marked Fotek with 40A on the label and a 16A device inside. I feel a bit sorry for the real Fotek if this is the case.

2. At the 1.8V voltage drop Mattias Wandel mentioned in the video, his SSR was dissipating about 40 Watts of energy and the metal bast plate he mounted the SSR to was not sufficient for dissipating 40 Watts of heat energy.

The run capacitor limits the current that will pass through the start winding when the motor is running, because they are wired in series. The run capacitor also provides running torque when the motor is up and running.

But at the very same time, if the rectifier dissipates enough energy for this to be a concern, then it is probably a poorly designed power supply to start with. As most power supplies will be designed for the voltage range of 110 to 250 volts AC. And as it will draw the most current down at 110 volts, then this is where the manufacturer has their specifications chiseled in stone, as if we want 1100 watts, then we need at least 10 amps when we have 110 volts AC on the input. This means that we “effectively” have 5 amps to dissipate per diode.

I would like to add that it’s not just electricity you need to worry about. There could be other energy sources present from things like air, springs, hydraulic, etc that could pose a safety risk when you remove the electricity.

But it seems our society is structured so that a lack of morals, and inability to feel empathy (but ability to fake it, when needed), can lead certain ambitious and capable individuals right up to where they can do a lot of harm. There’s so many political decisions, particularly in the UK, where “fuck ’em” must have been the answer to any qualms about the needy. Even to the point of ill people killing themselves, and even a few who’ve starved to death.

Quite often, when I was in the Air Force as a Cable Dawg, I would get zapped while doing copper cable cut splices for mission critical systems. Meaning they were left powered and came back on one by one as they were spliced. -48v DC is very tingly when it runs through a crimper and into your arm…

Of course, you’re still responsible for your work, but you don’t automatically forfeit your insurance just because you added an extra lamp and it caught on fire.

There is a huge difference between heater and electric motor when it comes to inrush current. But anyway haven’t seen 600A contactor for switching on 60A motor.

Evil Triacs, should be banned by Law anywhere in the World. How is looking a dimmer with Relays? I will love to see a picture. Or an evening filmed youtube video with it, the contact sparks are a free added effect, nice one

For a TRIAC I bend the middle pin forward 0.1″ – 0.2″, this is often done commercially and you can even buy them pre-bent.
