You suggested a pulse width modulator an engineer at work was discussing with me how they work etc. however I've just been lookign on the internet and I don't really understand how they work or what they do. I think I'm destined to be a failed electrical engineer, the more I see the less I know!

What do you mean by using a voltage to pulse an ic (i'm assuming that stands for input controller?) I'm an apprentice so you'll have to forgive my lack of knowledge

interesting and potentially useful idea, however the frequency of the pulse cannot be changed because of the way the coil mechanism works, as the coil pushes a small ratcheted gear, turning the clock arm half a minute, which I should have mentioned earlier. I was thinking of setting up a PLC...

You could a Liquiphant level switch, depending on what you want the swithc to do it will send a 24v signal through the switch wire to a relay,PLC o whatever you have set up. The Liquiphant has basically two paddle/prong arrangements that vibrate at a certain frequency, as soon as they are...

I have recently in work been given a sort of mini project I have been handed what must be about 60 years old or so world time clock, this is one of those arrangements where you have an arrangement of small clocks in a cabinet with each clock representing the time of a different city in the...

Cheers I think I have a better understanding of this now nice1 laa

So are you saying that whatever the load/resistance is on the secondary coil (24v motor) and its properties directly affect the resistance on the primary coil and therefore causes a volt drop and hence current drop on the primary because whatever resistance the motor has is proportionally...

Hi, I'm an apprentice multiskilled engineer, thought I prefer electrical engineering anywho, my power shower at home stopped working and upon testing there was no ouput from the transformer, 230v/24v DC and it got me thinking, I'm aware of the step up/down voltage theory etc and the windings...
