Hello all,
This topic is regarding petrol generators and the power they produce to be used with computers etc.
My background is in DC automotive so AC and this project is my hobby to learn something new. (i understand AC but have not put it to practice)
i have a Rigol DS1052E Digital Oscilloscope, before i do anything stupid ill ask, can this be used to probe wall socket? if so can some one give me a rundown on how. thanks
the project:
i want to compare the power a petrol power generator will make vs. wall sockets. then work out a way to filter/clean it to use on more sensitive devices. done on a domestic level.
use:
if i was to go camping or working in the field etc and needed my pc sensitive equipment and a safe way to power it with a dirty little gen.
example:
#use of power inverters dc\ac (via generators DC output)
#use ups to filter power before pc or device
#use of surge protectors in line
i would like to hear the theory and advice from all you gurus out there on how you would approach it.
thanks look forward to the replies.
