Today, 09:12The coil is powered directly from the rectified AC so it de-activates as soon as the power fails. We have no idea what voltage comes from your...3 replies | 102 view(s)

Yesterday, 20:52The plug type is the choice of whoever designed the unit the battery is connected to, it isn't part of the battery itself. Almost certainly the red...4 replies | 255 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:53RS-422 should have high noise immunity already. If you can build yourself, UART->Opto->ADM488 or ADM489 would work and be simple. Keep the opto on...3 replies | 121 view(s)

16th October 2019, 10:56If the frequency is fixed, and you are using logic levels which are precise, you can get 90 degrees shift with one resistor and one capacitor. Just...11 replies | 426 view(s)

16th October 2019, 09:20You are missing the fan connections and 100R is far too low in value, the resistors alone would dissipate 2.25W each! What Klaus is suggesting is...20 replies | 551 view(s)

15th October 2019, 16:56Yes, you can use two 7815 regulators to drop the 30V down to two 15V supplies but the drawback is they will almost certainly run very hot. They have...20 replies | 551 view(s)

15th October 2019, 14:34Generally not a good idea but it depends on the actual fan design. Most low voltage DC fans do not draw a precise current and it quite likely goes...20 replies | 551 view(s)

14th October 2019, 23:46You understood correctly, but in this application you DON'T want the diode to conduct so it is wired the other way around. It will still conduct when...8 replies | 358 view(s)

14th October 2019, 13:13Your claims don't seem reasonable. How could a residual voltage of '+/-25V' appear on a 12V output? Are you saying it went up to 37V or down to...6 replies | 211 view(s)
