Electrical Troubleshooting

The SI unit of EMF (electromotive force) in a direct current circuit is Volts. The circuits current is measured in ampere's

You will need a second battery in series with the first battery to produce the 24 volts DC. To keep it charged the series connection will have to be manually changed to a parallel connection.

The part of the circuit that is tied to a ground rod that is usually 6-8 ft long and is driven in the actual ground outside a building. Most local electrical codes require the ground circuit also be tied to the neutral bar in the electrical service panel. Effectively, you are causing the neutral bar to be grounded electrically to physical earth ground.

A ground circuit can also be on a vehicle. It usually is the car body and chassis used as a return path for electrical currents back to the battery negative post. Some vehicles use a positive ground instead of a negative ground (European vehicles usually).

It depends on the device and manufacturer, but most digital multimeters will display "OL", which indicates an OverLoaded input for the specified range. The term "overload" doesn't necessarily mean that a voltage or current is necessarily at a dangerous level or a level that might damage the device, but rather that the upper limit of its measuring capability has been reached.

In order to protect the equipment from damage, it's a good idea to set the meter to its highest range first when working with unknown voltages or currents and make a quick measurement at that level to make sure you don't get an overload (OL) on the display. This tells you whether or not you are potentially working beyond the manufacturer specified limits of the equipment (though the manufacturer limits are usually higher than the measurement limits).

The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. Additional terminals are provided for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable operation as an oscillator,

the free running frequency and duty cycle are accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms, and the output circuit can source or sink up to 200mA or drive TTL circuits.

There is little point in desoldering one since they are very cheap to buy since the chip is nearly thirty years old.

NE/SA/SE555/SE555C Timer circuits are all over the net.

Electric supply, usually a battery.

Often it's a problem with a loose connection or corroded battery terminal, but it can also be just a discharged battery.

The question is too vague to answer in any kind of detail, but it would be good to start with the basics; test the battery. Use a volt meter to see what voltage is present at the battery, then start to go out from there.

If you have voltage at the battery, test voltage at the connectors, then the relay, then the fuse box.

im not talking about the cord itself , im talking about the brick or trasformer thats located inline that regulates current to your lap top. main question again is this suppose to get hot ?

Hot cords I assume you mean the cord itself is hot. Yes, this happens when you are either putting to much load on the cord or are using too light of a cord on too long a distance. The cord usually at the plug can melt and then short out. Fire a very real possiblitiy

The output voltage do not really increase, it is only the meter reading that increase, because not all meters is true RMS meters. If a true RMS meter is used, the output voltage will read the same with or without a capacitor. A value of .2887 approximately have to be added per volt that is measured on an ordinary meter, the reason for this is that a unsmoothed rectified sine wave is not a pure DC voltage it is a series of half cycles that can be beter explained with a sketch http://www.patenttrade.net/rms.htm

Yes, a space heater can be plugged into any outlet. Depending on what else is drawing current on the circuit will govern whether the circuit will trip or not. If the heater is plugged in and the circuit does not trip it can be left plugged as long as it is needed. If the heater trips after a few seconds, then try another outlet.

ohms voltage Ac Dc power i think thats all i know sorry guys

Yes, this is known as a parallel connection. When wired in this configuration you will get double the amp/hours out of the batteries over just using one battery. Batteries connected in series results in the voltages being additive. Batteries in parallel results in longer amp/hour capacity.

if it is a big power wire ( same size as the battery cable ) then it is the earth wire you should find that the battery has one wire going directly on to the engine or chassis

there are different arangements the negative wire could be coming directly to the starter and if this is the case then the wire is just earthing the engine but in a lot of cases the starter is getting its ground from the engine and the engine gets its ground from the battery

There is a little adapter which does this for you. It is available in Canada and CSA certified. It is available at Home Depot. Just plug it into the 240 volt outlet and you now have a 120 volt outlet, which is protected by its own internal 15 amp fuse. This device is to be used for one specific use only and that is to safely convert an electric range outlet when a gas ranges is replacing the electric range. Gas ranges need a 120 volt supply to operate and this device is used so that the range receptacle can supply the needed 120 volt supply. See related linksbelow.

you should find it on the top of the gearbox

Circuit breaker tripping, or non functioning outlet. The neutral and hot can be reversed, or an open ground, and you will have no symptoms. This can only be detected with a circuit tester you plug in to check the wiring.

The same way he/she can identify a composite resistor that is color coded or a metal film resistor that is color coded: by reading the color code bands. They all use the same color code.

If for some reason the color bands are damaged and unreadable, the resistor will have to be removed and measured with a meter. However this reading may be incorrect as whatever caused the color bands to become unreadable may have also damaged the resistor, changing its value. Verify the value on the schematic!

The most clean-looking way is to unsolder the resistor from the circuit board and put in its place a piece of solid wire, bent into a U shape to fit the same holes, soldering it back in place where the resistor was A slightly uglier but much faster way is to take the same U-shaped piece of wire and bend little hooks on each end. Hook the ends around the existing resistor leads and solder. The above assumes leaded through-hole resistors. If the resistor is surface-mount, you basically have to tack-solder a tiny loop of wire to each end of the resistor. Its best not to remove the resistor unless you're trained in surface-mount component repair, or you will likely damage the board. You will need an iron with a very small tip for this.

Did you check all the fuses? Other things would be a wiring harness connector becoming unseated or dirty, all the bulbs are burnt out or a wire is cut.

The last fixture in a parallel circuit is wired the same as the first. In North America, all of the fixtures are wired black wire to black wire and white wire to white wire. The black wire being the "hot" wire and the white wire being the neutral wire.

By simulating a earth leak on the device connected to ELCB. A short between phase and the body or earth point. Care must be taken. It must be done by a trained Electrician only. It is dangerous to do it.

Not with out destroying it.
