I'm building a vacuum kiln to dry wood and have some questions that may be rhetoric, since I am fairly certain I know the answers. I don't see a need to describe the project in great detail so I'll stick with the basics.
The biggest challenge is applying heat to the wood. I believe I will have...
I was giving an example based on real experience. When I repaired them often the customer would not want to spend the money on the part especially if the part was an expensive circuit board;. They would pay the troubleshooting charge and tell me to keep the oven. Of course I used the ovens for...
I was an aviation electronics technician in the USCG 81 - 85 and apart from being SAR aircrew, we were also the guys that did the component level repair on all the black boxes including nav/com/ etc. Back then the rating was AT but I believe since then it has been combined with what we called...
Thanks Jeff. I was pretty sure the power was more dependent on the mag than the HV xfmr since they pretty much all put out 2KV (before the doubler cap/diode circuit gets a hold of it). .
What is the main determining factor in determing the watts in a MWO? I'm not asking how it is measured I understand how to do that, I'm asking what the engineer uses to determine it. Is the output voltage of the transformer more responsible than anything else? It seems they all put out the same...
I guess I can't wrap my head around it somehow. I understand Ohm's law clearly. A motor wired for 120 pulls 10 amps (for example) through the one conductor (L1). The same motor wired for 240 pulls half the amps (5) but through both conductors (L1 and L2).
When I put my amprobe on each main...
Where an AC induction motor can be wired for 120v or 240v, will the total amperage be the same no matter how you wire it?
The way I understand it is, since the 120V wiring has 1 conductor it is carrying all the amps. I realize the neutral plays a part but it does not have amperage flow. The...
