upgrading PI controller into a current driver for a YIG
There is a PI controller with certain AC behavior. I need to use this PI controller in order to drive a coil (current controlled oscillator) of 1.5 ?H inductance. For DC behavior at 10 mV input I

Re: Charging Circuit
Found many variations of 2/3 AAA NiMH in multi packs on Amazon. Both button top and tabbed. It does appear that 300mA is harder to find. Going to next step in capacity, 400mA, yields better

For kicks and grins I sent an email to Sabre to ask if I could purchase a replacement battery. Their response was " The battery is non-replaceable". I replied that I already had the unit apart and

Re: Charging Circuit
As a teenager I bought pure lithium metal. It was supplied in a jar covered by oil.
I cut off pieces and threw them into snow or ice for instant fireworks.

Re: Charging Circuit
Trust me, I took enough chemistry in college to know lithium and water react rather violently.
But no one was listening to me when the phone went up in flames and someone grabbed a child's squirt gun

Re: Charging Circuit
Chemically, Lithium is very reactive to air and water. Hence, water is NOT a good method to put on a Li-ion fire.

Re: Charging Circuit
Roy,
I have quite a bit of association with LiPo batteries. I fly RC aircraft and LiPo's are the preferred power source. Many times there are articles of flyers charging their batteries and having

Re: Charging Circuit
I had a bunch of them a while back, and eventually gave up on them completely. The lower terminal voltage was an issue, and they just didn't seem to reliably hold a charge.
Had some of those,

Re: Charging Circuit
I suspect it'd take quite powerful ultrasonics to break up the 'whiskers' that grow in the electrolyte.
I never considered freezing, I'll pass that idea on to ham friends who still fight with

Re: Charging Circuit
Interesting thanks,
Ive had few nicads & LiMH pretty much similar issues you've observed and incl trying to perturb them enough (incl slap then hard to break up shorting crystals)? to take a charge

Re: Charging Circuit
NiCads can have some odd failure modes, yours is fairly common, under no load the cell will produce ~1.2V, place any significant load and the voltage drops to zero, and the cell won't take any charge

Update on my repair. It's NOT! I replaced the diode bridge and LED and connected the battery after "charging" for about 5 minutes. I stopped when I noticed the battery voltage was approaching 10

Re: 3-Phase Motor Question
Low voltage is a parallel star connection. This motor can¡¯t be connected delta. The phase windings are connected in series, only one star point (permanent inside the motor) for high voltage.

Re: 3-Phase Motor Question
Ir I remember my 'Y' connection theory, to reverse the motor direction you would reverse any two input leads. Therefore if on 208 each phase line would be connected as such:
X---1
Y---2
Z---3

Re: 3-Phase Motor Question
It has been 50ish years since I studied 3 phase, however looking at my class notes, yes interchanging leads 1 to 2, 2 to 1 or? 1 to 3, 3 to 1? or 2 to 3, 3 to 2 will reverse the direction of

OK, cannot include a PHOTO of the connection diagram on the 3PH 3/4HP motor
