Points for using potting compound on this VSR and also points for making it the soft "re-enterable" potting compound.

Minus points for pouring it over the bloody electrical connector terminals 🤦‍♂️

Luckily the soft jelly is easy to scrape off, but if you don't I don't think it will cope too well with the 140A it says on the other side.

A VSR (Voltage Sensitive Relay) with the back open. A small black negative wire exits a PCB which has two large threaded terminals on it. One is undone, the nut laying on the PCB which is cast in jelly-like clear potting compound. The locking washer is glued to the nut and broken jelly is on the contact area of the terminal.

#GeneralGalactic’s water 💧 propulsion system could provide 5-10 times the Delta-V of traditional systems. For #chemical propulsion, it will use electrolysis to split water, then burn the hydrogen with oxygen as the oxidizer. For #electrical propulsion, it will split water and then apply sufficient electrical energy 🔋 to convert the oxygen into plasma. It will then use a #magnetic field to guide the plasma out of a thruster interestingengineering.com/spa

Megohmmeters/Insulation - AMEC

web.archive.org/web/2017122105

Seen is the Megohmmeter from AEMC. 6505 is a portable battery/mains powered instrument in a rugged field case. This Features include automatic calculation and presentation of the Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) and Polarization Index (PI). The Model 6505 displays the test voltage, insulation resistance and the leakage current during the test.

Routine maintenance & upgrades to the #grid were already causing households nationwide to experience sticker shock on their monthly #bills. These added costs could drive regional prices even higher in the coming year. 2 co-operative #electrical #utilities that own the #Colorado #coal plant forced to stay online asked the #Trump admin to reconsider because it would raise #costs on their ratepayers.

I think I forgot to write about this a few days ago. But I almost drilled into the electrical wires because some idiot routed them stupidly.

They go into the outlet box from below, but then bend around it and run off to the side within the wall. But also not on the same height as the outlet box, but basically at the bottom edge of it. (A piece of the filler broke out while drilling the hole and I was <0.5cm away from the wires)

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY QUESTION

Can anyone here sanity-check the #electrical #power solution I've ended up planning for my next automated #insect monitoring tool?

This will be a unit running on mains power. It includes a #RaspberryPi 4B controller (also running a #camera and various sensors), along with a number of high-powered #LEDs (to attract insects and to illuminate photos).

The #RPi requires 5V supply and I am using an A009 BuckBlock to deliver constant current for the LEDs. This works optimally with a 24V supply.

The RPi will turn the lights on and off using a relay.

At present, I'm thinking that the best approach is to power the whole unit with a 24V AC-DC converter and then use a second 24V-5V converter to step down this DC for the RPi.

That means three power converters are required. In this diagram:

The cyan converter is for mains (ground is back through this converter, but the diagramming tool was not good for representing this).

The yellow converter steps down for the RPi power.

The pink converter delivers constant current for the lights.

Am I missing something? Can this be done better? Will I need additional capacitors to stabilise the RPi voltage when turning on the lights suddenly draws down an extra 27W, or should a decent step-down converter handle that?

TIA for any assistance.

Electrical circuit showing mains supply (240V) coming in at the left and converted to 24V DC. A second conversion steps down to 5V to supply a Raspberry Pi microcontroller which is shown as switching a relay to enable a third conversion to supply nine LEDs with 2.1A constant current. The diagram is black on white with the three conversion components coloured cyan, yellow and pink.

Reached a big milestone today - I got the transfer switch wired up to the electrical panels, so we finally have real power in the building. No more extension cords everywhere!

And as a result, our GreenEye power monitoring system is now active too, so I can see power consumption for every individual circuit in Home Assistant.
