AI Thread Summary
To achieve a parallel circuit with 0-300V at 50mA on one side and 0-300V at 50µA on the other, a simple resistor is ineffective due to the power supply's constant current feature. A 0-300V 50µA constant current regulator is recommended as the solution. Active components are necessary to manage the current levels effectively. The setup requires minimal power dissipation of 15mW when shorted, despite the high input voltage. Implementing this approach can eliminate the need for an additional power supply.

I have a variable voltage constant current power supply 0-300v at 50mA. Is it possible and if so what would be the simplest way to have a parallel circuit with 0-300v 50mA on one side and 0-300v 50uA on the other? A simple resistor isn't going to work because the supply maintains 50mA. Any help would be appreciated

Build a 0-300V 50uA constant current regulator. The main supply will just sit at 300V trying to drive 50ma.

There is no way that occurs to me to do it without active components. It only needs to dissipate 15mW when shorted and the input is 300V.

...and so is worth pursuing. Thank you very much. your help is much appreciated. It will save me having to purchase another power supply.
 
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...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
