    Idea for system that shows which fuse is blown

    Re: fuse alarm system... around 10 mA will pass in your load if one of the fuse blow, is it enough to damage the load?

    what should be the output voltage of a 8v zener if input is 37 VDC ? thanks

    I don't understand, how did you calculate the 75.32 ohm 29V/75.32ohm = 385mA but why 385mA If the load seek max 350mA and the zener needs min 5mA, you don't want 29V/355mA = 81.69ohm instead of the 75.32ohm series resistance I mean where did you find the 385mA, did you allow more current...

    How does a Center Tap really works?

    Does this schematic is right? If yes tell me how in that schematic: the C.T. can be use as a 0V reference voltage. It's really confusing me, there's not suppose to be voltage on the C.T. if my first draw is good? thanks Gauthier

    [SOLVED] Need help to analyse a power supply circuit! (LM317 / LM337)

    Yeah Retrotechie your right on that it's 15Vrms ,but the 1000uF cap will charge at Vpeak, so 15Vrms/.707 = 21.2 Vpeak 21.2V-.7V = 20.5V D.C. What you mean? Thanks for your explanation Gauthier

    [SOLVED] Need help to analyse a power supply circuit! (LM317 / LM337)

    Does someone would be able to explain me how the current and voltage are distributing in the schematic .... I tryed by myself for 2 hours, but I'm clueless it gives me impossible results. The center tap is confusing me and R1,R2 too... It's bugging me because it's my final project at school...

    [SOLVED] Need help to analyse a power supply circuit! (LM317 / LM337)

    We used standard electrolytic capacitors, , those that explode in reverse polarity! Maybe those one can tolerate a short and small voltage reverse polarity, unlike tantalum electrolytic one??? Exactly, that's the job of D1,D2,D3,D4. Yes it is. It's a drawing error I made the correction in...

    [SOLVED] Need help to analyse a power supply circuit! (LM317 / LM337)

    At school I had to build this circuit on a protobaord, I started from the left to the right testing it between each layer. Everything was fine until I plugeg the 10uF capacitor on the negative side of the power supply. Both 10uF capacitors are there to filter the noize that the potentiometers...

    Looking for formula to calculate voltage after resistance.

    But IanP, me too it gives me .0010211897 to be exact , but anyway we have both the right voltage divider formula. Mine is good i'm sure, I used it like 50 times in the past month... We argue on impossible values... but I think it's important to understand why these values are impossible ...

    Looking for formula to calculate voltage after resistance.

    This is the voltage divider formula: Vx = (Rx/RT)Vs Vx= the voltage drop at the motor Rt= Total resistance Vs= Voltage source but just like srizbf told you I think that with this resistance your values are not possible. Imagine that you have the biggest load ! The biggest load would be no...

    [SOLVED] How to isolate ''t'' in: Vx= Vs(e(-t/RC))

    yeah the thing about the cancellation law was for the string above: loge(Vx/Vs) = loge(e^(-t/RC)) si I puted exposents every where it's my bad lol, I didn't find the real base e on my keyboard.. but tanks for giving you time Len, I learned coples of very interesting things.

    [SOLVED] How to isolate ''t'' in: Vx= Vs(e(-t/RC))

    OK I watched a coples vids about logarithms on youtube... so, Vx= Vs(e(-t/RC)) Vx/Vs = e(-t/RC) ln(Vx/Vs) = ln (e(-t/RC)) ln = log base e of x loge^(Vx/Vs) = loge^(e^(-t/RC)) Using the cancellation laws I can keep only the last exposent at the right side. loge^(Vx/Vs) = -t/RC RC ln...

    [SOLVED] How to isolate ''t'' in: Vx= Vs(e(-t/RC))

    Hi, Let me give you the problem that bring me to that question, First, I have 24 Vcc source that aliments R1=62KΩ in series with C1= 1000µF, very basic circuit... The first question asks me to calculate the voltage drop at C1 and curent in the circuit at intervals of 30 secondes and to trace...
