    How do I test these transistors? (electronics noob here)

    Hello, @HellasTechn , They are NOT IGBT's as there is no mosfet as first transistor. They are special darlingtons with extra resistors and diodes build in: You can at least measure the resistors between S and E, they should be about 0.22 Ohms. Also you can measure de diode(s) between B and...

    Machine 5 position selector switch

    Hello, Why do you think they need to be replaced? Perhaps only the switch needs some cleaning. What is written on the other parts? I see one with 6800 and one with 4700 on it. Bertus

    Error code for LTSpice

    Hello, @Harald Kapp , The 555 circuit is known as a hysteretic oscillator: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/experiments/chpt-8/555-hysteretic-oscillator/ Using the formula on the given page, the frequency will be about 210 kHz. Bertus

    Does Inductor and Capacitor get heated

    Hello, Like over voltage will heat up the capacitor, overcurrent will heat up the inductor due to saturation. Every part has its limitations. Bertus

    Error code for LTSpice

    Hello, @Harald Kapp , Indeed, connecting the RST of the 555 to V2 will let the simulation run. The output seems to next to nothing: Bertus

    Error code for LTSpice

    Hello, @Harald Kapp Yes, I get the same error. It seems to be related to one of the sources. It looks like the TS is trying to make a class D amplifier. Bertus

    Error code for LTSpice

    Hello, @Harald Kapp , You must be missing some parts in your library. I get this in my LTSpice: Perhaps the user loaded the extra library from Bordodynov: http://bordodynov.ltwiki.org/ At AAC there is this thread...

    SMPS analysis

    Hello, When D803 is shorted, the SPMS will not start, due to the fact that R816 and the coil 5 to 6 of the transformer will block the startup. Normaly R804 will be the starter resistor, wich has a rather high value, compared with R816 and the coil. The diode D803 will isolate the startup...
