Hello, Is it possible to run heating and elements and other devices with DC supply? I have turned on Nickel-Chromium Heating wires with AC but is it okay to use it with DC supply? What's the main practical difference between AC & DC, as long as the voltage and current of supply is...

Hey guys, Are you guys aware of any designs (other than buckboost or charge pump) for negative power supplies using just a positive voltage (and ground of course) as inputs? Creative designs are totally welcome. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I need to create an adjustable power supply (AC) that ranges from 0-6 volts with roughly 1 ampere at 1 volt. I have a variac transformer (0-130 volts), an isolation transformer and a stepdown transformer. My question is, does it matter what order I step the voltage down? In other words...

Hello all! If you're reading this thread then thank you for taking the time to read and/or reply! I appreciate it!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Onto the guts of the thread. Here I will list what I am trying to do, the associated questions that I have found reasonable to ask, and then any...

Hey! I am trying to figure out the best way to run a AC gear motor off a DC power supply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It says DC in 12volts but I'm not sure how many amps this thing can handle... I don't want to plasma myself so I was looking for helpful answers, thanks guys pic of globe (paid $8 not bad) http://postimg.org/image/462gwlj5v/

What is a difference between sine Signal Generator and AC power supply?

If a 60 Hz equipment needs to be run off a 50 Hz power supply (3 phase, AC) what are typical options? One brute force approach is to simply change motors. But I was wondering if a VFD / thyristor or some such might work? This is medium sized equipment with rating of ~5 kW. As an...

Hi all, I hope you're all well :) I am shortly going to be fitting a battery operated device outdoors. Due to the power consumption, I will get 2.5 days out of each battery (max - if I'm lucky). What I would like to do is be able to connect another battery to it before disconnecting the...

I built an inverting op amp circuit on a circuit simulator and did a transient analysis on it. I set the gain such that I expected a clipped output, but to my surprise it got clipped at +9V and -9V instead of +10V and -10V, which were the voltages supplied to the op amp. So why would this be the...

Hi all, I have - 2 ICs that requires -10v and +10v - 1 IC that requires -5v and +5v How can I power them using one dual dc supply? Thanks!

How to power an OpAmp using two batteries, so there's no connection to mains ground or neutral? This circuit requires ground to force the node connecting the batteries to be at zero potential. How can I achieve the same result without grounding? thanks.

Please recommend a high quality power supply (at least 1KW) for this new gaming build. I haven't finished it yet, but it should be complete within the next few months.. *Core i7 3770K *Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB DDR3 1600MHz cl9 RAM *MSI Big Bang Mpower Z77 motherboard *Two-way SLI GTX 680...

In the Fabric of the cosmos, B Greene indicates that 'as the universe expands, matter and radiation lose energy to gravity while inflaton field gains energy from gravity' (page 312). I can accept that statement, but in his note no. 2 (page 524), he indicates that 'the special feature about...

Normally the connection of supply voltage is +-V but now is +V and ground. What happen if Op-amp (ua741) with only positive supply voltage? The op-amp still function?

I have a problem how can i obtain a constant value of dc voltage from a capacitor(dynamo) to supply a device.. As we know if the capacitor is directly connected to the device, the voltage will drop and the device will not have enough voltage to function. what is a better way?

What things do I need to consider when selecting a proper sized power supply? Basically this is control power, ouputs are pushbutton lights, alarm horn, and solenoid valves. Do I look at the peak inrush current? Average holding current?

Hello. Excuse my poor Englishe. My power suply stop working, and now i use from neiborgh old suply, but this is too low for all component on my computer. So will you tell me haw strong pover suply i need to use? My computer is old, and use ATX suply. I have, matherboard, 3Gb rams, cameras...

I have already asked this question at electronics.stackexchange but I still don't get it. I thought I understood it in terms of a water analogy but when I went back to electrons it still didn't make sense to me. My first reaction when encountering the idea of common grounding 2 separate power...

I need help designing a power supply for a portable medical research device for animals. My problem is designing a configuration for multiple voltages with pcb size and power efficiency in mind. I need 3.3 V, +/- 1.5 V, and +/- 20 V. Below I’ve listed device info and estimated current...

I did a bit of searching and I don't get it. What is really the difference between single supply and dual supply op amps? Voltages are just a potential difference. Op amps usually do not have a ground pin so they should have no idea if I am connecting +-15 V or +30V,0V it should still drive...

Hello, So I'm facing some difficulties. I'm using a DC voltage supply and connecting it to a PIC Board. The AC adapter that comes with the board outputs 9V DC. To be safe I'm just using 5V from the DC voltage supply. When I connect it to the board the reading from the voltage supply drops to...
