Hi everyone,
I work in the power generation field, and want to know if anyone has suggestions for basic electrical components to keep on hand. Since I first started in the industry last year, I've kept the basics on the truck (mainly 12/24v relays, toggle switches, fuses, and fluid switches/sensors (float switch, oil pressure sensor, etc)). Recently I've been getting into more complex jobs that require building simple circuits.
The past couple of weeks I've come across the following applications: field flashing for a 4160v generator, controlled current drying for a stator, and wiring an alarm panel. I'll end up having to return to the jobs as I need resistors, diodes, rheostats, rectifiers, etc. I now know what exact component/value I need for each of the aforementioned circuits, but I'd like to keep a wide variety of stock on hand so I can finish jobs on site.
Does anyone have suggestions for the variety and type of resistors, diodes and rectifier bridges, capacitors, rheostats, transistor, etc that would be advisable to keep on hand?
Thank you in advance!
