    Mains quick testers.

    All the electrical tools and transformers are PAT tested after servicing. Martin

    Mains quick testers.

    Sorry for the confusion chaps!. I have the appropriate tools for test and inspection of domestic and industrial but I definitely won’t be taking them into a dirty petrol, grease, cement environment (my work). The tools I service are concrete breakers, compactors, mini diggers, rotorvators, turf...

    @kellys_eye i want to double like that comment! My mouth is hypersalivation right now thinking about an open fire, toasting crumpets (marsh mallows) just to confuse our brothers over the pond:)

    He already has one and powers it from mains indoors. He omitted the voltage required. Martin

    Getting back on track of my post!, socket and see have a 110V socket tester. L1, L2 and ground. This is perfect for the site (construction) transformers but I’ve never used one to confirm . This might be a big build for 110V and 240V plus frequency for generators. eBay has various...

    What voltage is the DC power supply? ie - to the DC jack? Create a battery supply with that voltage and use the DC jack for powering the camera. Martin

    What? The different accents and languages too are next door and in every street, road and neighbourhood!. But I know what you mean. Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester etc. I’m in very posh Fulham:)

    Mains quick testers.

    I hate marmite, my sister loves it. Crumpets and tea?. We have crumpets for breakfast or a late night snack. They are nothing like bagels. In fact, once cooked and when cooled, it can be toasted in the toaster or grill (broiler?). I love mine toasted quite dark like well done toast and loads of...

    Yes, the 110V transformers secondaries are approx 55-0-55 centre tapped. The secondary centre tap is direct to earth (ground). All the transformers and tools are PAT tested after I repair/service them. I obviously realise that there is no short cut and wouldn’t want one to test a mains operated...

    Power suppy dilemma

    Yeah, we have that base current. But 2.1A is the mystery. Martin

    Power suppy dilemma

    In parallel, the 5V is fine but the current is added, so 800mA.. Can you draw a connection schematic and take a pic and post it?. Not saying you’re silly, but mistakes happen. Each at 0.2A is 0.8A in anyone’s book. So where does the 2.1A come in?. Your PSU clearly says 5V too. Have you checked...

    Power suppy dilemma

    Ok, so your 12V battery is what? A gel type? A car battery? What is the Generally the data sheets are the most important values. However, your PSU shows 200mA with one indicating it’s correct. You must be wiring them incorrectly. Do you understand series and parallel?. Or you have a different...

    Where to begin

    There are a few guys on YouTube that buy broken items on eBay to make videos about the repair. ‘My mate Vince’, Stezfixit’ to name two. But loads more. Buy some units (anything) that says “broken, no power when plugged in”. Then try your luck. Stick to battery operated items for now. Check the...

    Mains quick testers.

    Hahaha Hi John, language difference made me laugh!. First of all, our building sites by law, use 110V tools and step down transformers. So I test the transformers, open them for a visual and check the cables. Same with the tools. The transformers and generators obviously have (outlets:)). I was...

    You’re not repeating yourself, each response has been different. If each LED draws 200mA, you only need 800mA. So a 1Amp or higher supply. Martin
