    Static

    Haaaaaaaaa Totally. I just needed to clarify if there was any weight of his theories in terms of physics. There's non physical elements to his writings I enjoy.

    Static

    The research I am doing is part of my ongoing kinetic scultpture and sound work, I have always loved Tinguely but needed to get a scientific angle on his theory to make sure I can be as critical as possible when referencing his theory. I got this reply of a physics forum...brilliant response...

    Static

    Yes relativity. I was imagining the surface of water and evaporation how this is a constant exchange and no room for stillness. At a stretch am I right in thinking then that all surfaces have similar exchanges?

    Static

    I'm currently doing some research around the artist Jean Tinguley, he's a kinetic sculptor from Switzerland originally then Paris. His biggest theory was to question the word static. He Suggests static as defined by still is incorrect, he suggests that stillness can't actually exist. My question...

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    cheers. i am familiar with the circuit. Thanks. Cheers for heads up on the lm337.

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    That's cool i am familiar with the LM317. I was unsure how to connect though with dual rail. But i'm sure i can figure it out. So if I have variable current control and ressettable fuses I should be pretty much covered. And of course a suitable power adapter. I'm looking at this as an...

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    Recommended by MFOS is 1a off their power supply. But I remember Kelly's eye saying this was a misnomer. At the minute I have 300ma off current draw off the modules. Tech support at the manufacturers recommended me to get a bench supply and limit it at 50ma for building and experimenting.

    Test Equipment

    I needed a portable dso for Exhibition testing and gigs. I was on a very tight budget so bought KKmoon type portable one. I can't say how good it is really as i'm not experienced enough, but I just calibrated a VCO with it as my CRT bulb has blown. When I get my CRT fixed I'll be interested to...

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    ahhhhhh, now i see. Thanks guys. Audioguru, what's the pros and cons of this? I don't understand if the high current is needed. thanks all, this is a huge help and will save me money! Need to pay more attention to wattage!

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    Now I'm thinking about it, I have noticed the adapters have been getting hot even just plugged into the mains and not connected to a circuit. Maybe I just need to buy a more robust adapter.

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    this looks interesting. Thank you.

    yes only the wallwart smoked.

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    pretty sure it was this adapter... but will have to check tomorrow at my workshop. Both adapters got very hot and the LED didn't light up. No voltage output...

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    in fact I'll just make continuity beeper that sits across +/-/0 volts. Dunno why i didn't think of that earlier!

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    spoke to the manufacturer just. They say it has current and temperature protection but It's too difficult to add "mis wiring on the input" protection. I'll read around short circuit protection. But sometimes being cheap isn't the answer, I'll wait until i can afford a proper bench supply...

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    Thanks Audioguru. I don't quite understand so prob just means it's a bit beyond me right now. Is a current limiter the same as short circuit protection? Just my dc bench power supply has a current limit function which drops the voltage supply if a short happens, really useful for...

    current limiter for dual rail power supply.

    Dual rail supply is 12v 0v -12v. Problem is i'm using it for circuit testing also and I've burned out to ac adapters. So was wanting a current limiter to add to the power supply circuit. The MFOS dual rail supply schematic is here. Just can't quite afford a proper bench supply at minute. thank...

    using cv in and out between dual rail and single

    Great. Cheers

    using cv in and out between dual rail and single

    I have some music gear that runs off single rail and some off dual rail power supplies. Is it ok to use Control Voltage outs and ins from one type to the other?
