The sad thing is, when he calms down and realizes the effects of it, and how it looks, he'll want to undo it, but will not be able to. :( |

I made myself an isolation transformer mainly for measurements with my oscope. I did it simple way - with two back to back ~200W transformers (230/34V) off my junkbox, I added a fuse, sockets and a switch. It works, what I see as a minor issue is its weight and the power consumption of the combo without a load is around 30W :) |

I've done that before. At first I did a few too many turns and it gave 280V out unloaded, so I removed some until I got just under 250V out, with 230V in, unloaded and close to 230V at full load. |

I't looks as if he went round and deleted the first post on all of his threads on the 11th. [Edit: and all of his posts] --- End quote --- He's deleted all of his posts. [...] It appears he's thrown his toys out of the pram and left. Did I miss the fireworks? --- End quote --- Not sure what drove his decision, but he had certainly disclosed a lot of detail about his challenging personal situation in his posts. In my opinion it was a wise decision to remove them and let that published persona disappear. I wish bigfoot the best for his future; hopefully he gets the right support and can turn things around for himself. |
