Rotary Switch

AI Thread Summary

A 6-position rotary switch can effectively short multiple contacts by connecting each position to all previous ones. For a setup where position 3 shorts legs 1, 2, and 3, a 6-deck, 6-position switch is recommended. This configuration allows for the desired functionality of sequentially shorting contacts with each turn. Proper wiring is essential to achieve the intended results. This solution meets the requirements for a mechanical rotary switch application.

Hi,

I'm looking for a 6 pos, 2Amps, mechanical rotary switch that with every turn will short another contact to all of the other contacts that came before...

For example, if it's on position 3, legs 1, 2 and 3 will be shorthand all together.

Thanks.

Use a 6 deck, 6 position switch and wire up the way you described.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
