Re: Floating Adapter 013-0156-00
Hi Craig. The question of isolation transformer never really goes away. If you continue earthing of say an isolating transformer case to a ¡®consumer¡¯ case when servicing consumer/appliances you

Re: 577 Retrace Problem
I have to wonder what were your settings for H Voltage, and V Current, Supply voltage and load impedance, and your step size. You can curve trace a 3055 at amps of current, or you can trace it at

That again. No it's not an absolute requirement that there is a ground connection to the output of an isolation transformer. In fact european standards absolutely demand that there not be one. The

Re: 577 Retrace Problem
For whatever it might be worth, I tried six variations of 2N3055 on a 577 that has had only enough repairs to keep it functioning. The 3055's varied with a 3055H and a 3055HV mixed in with epitaxial

Re: 577 Retrace Problem
I'm not at all surprised - a 2N3055 is a power transistor with a very large junction area. So it has a very high capacitance. I'd have to look it up, but one of Tek's curve tracer manuals sets out a

Re: 577 Retrace Problem
That part is good. That is a bit on the nasty side. I'm more concerned not with the doubling of traces (which could be argued), but the lack of blanking showing through. Is there a blanking waveform?

Re: Floating Adapter 013-0156-00
This has, as one recommendation, using an isolation transformer. However, it is an absolute requirement that there is ground continuity between primary and secondary of an isolation transformer. Think

I bought a Hantek dual trace 200 mhz scope about a year ago. It cost about 350 bucks. I also have a couple of 465 scopes. The Hantek has its advantages in some situations. Of course be reminded it is

It would only work if your input was already floating, say for example a TPS2024 or scope meter, and allow you to attach two probes in a differential configuration. The shell is unlikely to present a
