If you wanted to discuss your inverter/LED lamp design, then you should have created your own thread, rather than derailing someone else's!
I apologise to the original poster for playing my part in this. I should have recognised this and stopped responding to you, long ago.
its ok Hero999, not your fault
I request the other poster to keep discussion to target the plan of mux on the AC line .
Let us not go deep into LED drivers and million inverter design. Then it will be like making a chair for 2yo to 90yo with a size that fits all .
We are engineers , seek to make viable products not science explorer .
-some good news here!!! -
The plan works by unloading the inverter
a small inverter that used to flicker after 15watts now happily taking 25W , pretty amazing bright lights .
i am too lazy to make lux meter but compared lightof 1 bulb with MUX and without MUX .
Did it save power ?
Not much,9watter was pulling 800mA DC
25watts load was showing 600mA / per 5watts drain
did the lamps over heat ?
NO
i wish someone could fund me for a patent!
Many experts cant achieve to a solution because they lose focus , so it is better the discussion can limited to reach some solution
these are the parameters for a BETA of the AC MUX
=============
- Approx square wave ( a little different in my case ) inverter , take frequency 10khz
-target is to get atleast 4 bulbs on 10w inverter
-all bulbs are SMPS ( no future tech and , cap dropper)
===================================
There are 2 ways
-simulation model
-real one
Second one will save time initially
