    Effects of using 50 Hz power on a 60 Hz device.

    As I understand it, if there were no losses a typical induction motor would spin at 3600 rpm (or 1800 rpm depending upon how many poles are wound). Due to "slip" motors of this type will be rated at 3550 and 1725 rpm, respectfully. Another person found a statement saying power out would be...

    Yes, ~= 110 VAC.

    Digital signal processing is a more accurate term here. Signal conditioning, in my opinion, relates more so to analog data.

    Agreed. All of man's senses can perceive only analog information. I'll venture a WAG and say all original releases of the Beatle's (the British invasion) albums were free of any digital signal conditioning.

    Those that forget the past.....

    I was going to use the am radios of the 1960s but after remembering the creation of the ABC in 1937, I thought their could be a conflict in there somewhere. So, I'll cite pre-1937 am radios where from the broadcaster's lips to the listener's ear, there was not a digital signal to be detected.

    Those that forget the past.....

    This is not a complaint or a request for argument but merely an observation and an expression of my opinion. Regarding the attachment, I do not agree with the first paragraph. I think it looks like something AI would compose. In my opinion, an analogy would be, "Long distance travel by men was...

    DC voltage reduction circuit needed

    What I did find that I have on hand is a CV CC convertor which I will hopefully be testing with panels and charge controller, sometime this week. CV CC unit rated 40 A.

    Ultrasonic trans/rec transducer support hardware

    PIR? Infrared? Is suspect I would need to scan entire height of tank.

    Ultrasonic trans/rec transducer support hardware

    My projects tend to stretch the projected time tables. My initial thot was capacitive difference as the indicator of liquid level. I did an experiment but results showed only a difference of a few pico farads. I did not feel secure with determining such a small value accurately and repeatable...

    Thank you for your input. I ordered from Amazon. Going to go pick up package just now.

    DC voltage reduction circuit needed

    I did indeed order a 40A buck converter about an hour after posting this thread. However, this particular converter has a max input voltage of 35 VDC. My panels will reach 36.7 V, no load, therefore I will be using a shunt regulator that should guarantee that Vin,max is never exceeded. Quite a...

    DC voltage reduction circuit needed

    The latest charge controller I purchased for my PV system has a max input voltage of 25 VDC. My panels produce 36 VDC. I'm looking for a DC voltage reduction circuit to insure that controller never feels any voltage above 20 VDC. Does anyone have a bare-bones, bullet proof buck circuit handy?

    Looking for suggested dynamic microphone power level

    Far field attenuation is a wonderful idea but often the background noises are present and very annoying, even at my carrier's business, Cellone. If I have to tell a business operator that they need to speak up to be understood, I generally hang up after the third time. I suspect the OTJ training...

    Looking for suggested dynamic microphone power level

    I received the following email on 5-3. This thread may have been archived. Idk. I did buy another thrift shop mic. Haven't tried it yet but suspect your mention of mics being geared for voice may come into play. I'm guessing the new mic was karaoke mic.

    Ultrasonic trans/rec transducer support hardware

    I can justify a 13 dollar expenditure.

    Ultrasonic trans/rec transducer support hardware

    The sentiment is much appreciated but I will order an assortment of "presets" for my own goodies box. The overall value I need in that particular leg of the circuitry is ~134k ohm. As it sits, I'm using a 68k fixed resistor and a 100k single turn panel mount pot. Because thats what I have on...

    Ultrasonic trans/rec transducer support hardware

    The thot of trimmer pots went thru my head but I visualized the single turn 1M ohm ones that I use on another project and I ruled out trimmer pots. I resigned myself to having to use precision 10 turn pots with locking knobs, usually around 10 bucks each. Thanks for jogging my memory. I think...

    What is a 10-turn preset?
