Averagesupernova replied to the thread Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes.No surprise there... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes.The poor OP is likely thoroughly confused by now. The end goal always is to have a steady unchanging voltage where the end user utilizes... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread I'm trying to intuit how pull-up and pull-down resistors work.It's interesting you go 'there'. Nowhere have I said or implied you are faking not understanding this material. It is my opinion that... -
Averagesupernova replied to the thread One pin AC connector (Coaxial).In the USA 240 volt devices utilize two separate 120 volt conductors. Each one is 120 volts to ground and neutral and 240 volts between...
