    Heating Switches
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on connecting a heating pad that includes two resistors and four single-way switches for different heat settings. Users suggest placing one heating pad under each side for optimal warmth. A request for a circuit diagram to illustrate the electrical connections between the switches and resistors is made, highlighting the need for clarity in the wiring setup. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the electrical configuration to ensure proper functionality. A detailed circuit diagram would aid in achieving the desired heating pad operation.

The Heating pad having 2 same value resistor and 4 single way switches (On / Off, Medium, Low,High)
how do i connect those heating pad

Put one under your left side, and one under your right side. Should work well. :smile:
 
thanks for your answer, but i need the circuit diagram for connect the switch to resistor
 
sketch what you think one or two look like - electrically of course!
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
