Hello,

Today I plugged in a power meter I bought a while ago, and decided to
check out how much power my old Pentium 233MMX was using, here are the
results (UK Power):

Normal Operation
244 Volts, 0.21 Amps, 31 Watts, Power Factor = 0.60

But if I disconnect the hard drive, I get:
250 Volts, 0.17 Amps, 41 Watts, Power Factor = 1.00

How could it be using more power when the hard drive is disconnected?
41 Watts is how much power it is using, right? Which one (if any) is
accurate?

Just a thought, but I wonder if your power meter is able to handle

switching power supplies (which are used by all computers).
The power meter may be expecting simple resistive loads, or
maybe motors where the current and voltage are a bit out of
phase, but not be able to handle loads where the waveforms
are chopped up by a switcher.

I am probably using the wrong term!

What I am looking for is some round led style lights that can be sunk
into the decking and can be hooked up to a light controller that will
allow the lights to be turned on and off to the beat of some music.
These lights could be just a number of different colour lights, eg 3
red, 3 blue, 3 green, etc, or even better each be a light that can be
forced to a specific colour (does such a thing exist?!)

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Susan

You're asking for a 'color organ'. Most use incandescent lights, not LEDs.
There are many schematics available as well as kits. These kits are not the
sort of thing one would permanently install.

Basically, it's a frequency selective circuit that triggers an SCR to apply
power to the lamps.

Stop relying on someone/something else t o answer your life questions..
Go figure it out for yourself and stop witnessing to other people.

This is the most important question of your life.

The question is: Are you saved?

Saved from what?

It is not a question of how good you are,
nor if you are a church member, but are you saved?

From what?

Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?

Are you sure there's a heaven!

The reason some people don't know for sure if they
are going to Heaven when they die is because they
just don't know.....

If there's a heaven

The good news is that you can know for sure that
you are going to Heaven.

Can I get it in writing?

The Holy Bible describes Heaven as a beautiful
place with no death, sorrow, sickness or pain.

Can you point out where heaven is...is in near the Big Dipper?

God tells us in the Holy Bible how simple it is
to be saved so that we can live forever with Him
in Heaven.

Saved from what?

"For if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from
the dead, you WILL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:9)

Confess to what?

Over 2000 years ago God came from Heaven to earth
in the person of Jesus Christ to shed His blood
and die on a cross to pay our sin debt in full.

What sins?

Jesus Christ was born in Israel supernaturally to
a virgin Jewish woman named Mary and lived a sinless
life for thirty-three years.

Sounds like Sci-Fi

At the age of thirty-three Jesus was scourged and
had a crown of thorns pressed onto His head then
Jesus was crucified.

Three days after Jesus died on a cross and was
placed in a grave Jesus rose from the dead as Jesus
said would happen before Jesus died.

If someone tells you that they are going to die and
then three days later come back to life and it
actually happens then this person must be the
real deal.

Jesus Christ is the only person that ever lived a
perfect sinless life.

Who's keeping records?

This is why Jesus is able to cover our sins(misdeeds)
with His own blood because Jesus is sinless.

What about Mary M.?

The Holy Bible says, "In Him(Jesus) we have
redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of
sins..." (Ephesians 1:7)

If you would like God to forgive you of your past,
present and future sins just ask Jesus Christ to be
your Lord and Saviour.

Can I set up a meeting?

It doesn't matter how old you are or how many bad
things that you have done in your life including
lying and stealing all the way up to murder.

So you can be a "bum" and he doesn't care....sounds like a politician

Just pray the prayer below with your mouth and mean
it from your heart and God will hear you and save you.

Dear Jesus Christ, I want to be saved so that I can
have a home in Heaven with You when I die. I agree
with You that I am a sinner. I believe that You love
me and want to save me. I believe that You bled and
died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins and
that You rose from the dead. Please forgive my sins
and come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour.
Thanks Lord Jesus Christ for forgiving me and saving
me through Your merciful grace. Amen.

Welcome to the family of God if you just allowed God
to save you.

Now you are a real Christian and you can know for
sure that you will live in Heaven forever when this
life comes to an end.

Just like that...its harder to become a Boy Scout

As a child of God we are to avoid sin(wrongdoing),
but if you do sin the Holy Bible says, "My dear
children, I write this to you so that you will not
sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks
to the Father in our defense Jesus Christ,
the Righteous One."

Those of you that have not yet decided to place your
trust in the Lord Jesus Christ may never get another
chance to do so because you do not know when you
will die.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life:
no one can come to the Father(God)(in Heaven), but
by me." (John 14:6)

This means that if you die without trusting in Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Saviour you will die in your
sins and be forever separated from the love of God in
a place called Hell.

The Holy Bible descibes Hell as a place of eternal
torment, suffering, pain and agony for all those who
have rejected Jesus Christ.

The good news is that you can avoid Hell by allowing
Jesus Christ to save you today. Only then will you
have true peace in your life knowing that no matter
what happens you are on your way to Heaven.

If that is the case - that it can't handle switching power supplies,

how much power it is drawing. Is there a standard/cheap way of working
out exactly how much power the pc is using? What equipment is needed?

Cheers,

This is a very good question, but I unfortunately have no
answer. Note that if you were actually measuring the
current from the battery the task would be much simpler,
since you could assume that the voltage was pretty
much a constant during the current draw. Then all that
would be needed would be to integrate the total current
in amp-hours. But if you already had the battery, the
inverter, and the computer you could skip all that and
just time it directly!

I think the power meter has to integrate the product of
instantaneous voltage times instantaneous current,
averaging over one or more cycles of the mains frequency.
I don't know what typical commercial power meters do.
Anyone else have any info on that?

Hello

total novice at this so I'm hoping someone can help. I have a USA
appliance and the spec is given as:

INPUT 110 volt fuse protected
OUPUT 12 volt DC as 3 amps, circuit breaker protected

the plug is a USA 3 pin type (2 thin plugs at bottom, one round plug at
top). Am I right in thinking that the round one means the appliance is
grounded/earthed?

I can't find anything that relates to watts. Do I calculate this by 12
(volts) * 3 (amps) to give me 36?

Also, if I buy a transformer which is too low (Maplins do one at
45watts) will I blow the transformer, the appliance, or both!?

Many thanks

Yes, the round pin is earth ground, it should be connected to the chassis of
your device.
Your output can supply 36 Watts.
You didn't say what the device is. I suspect a power supply for something.
Without any more information I can only guess that your 45 watt adaptor will
be fine.

Tom

Yes, but the round pin is, arguably, on the bottom.

I can't find anything that relates to watts. Do I calculate this by 12

---
Yes. That's the power your appliance can supply to a load designed
to operate on 12 volts DC.
---

Also, if I buy a transformer which is too low (Maplins do one at
45watts) will I blow the transformer, the appliance, or both!?

---
More than likely, just the transformer. But, before you buy a
transformer you need to determine what your appliance draws from the
mains. It should be on the nameplate somewhere and will either be
identified as "A" or "amperes", or "VA" (Volt-Amperes). If it's
specified in VA, then all you need to do is to get a transformer rated
to supply that, or a greater number of Volt-Amperes. However, if it's
specified in amperes, then multiply 120V by that number of amperes (to
get Volt-Amperes) and get a transformer which can supply at least
that.

If you can't find out how much current your appliance draws from the
mains, then what I'd do is assume that it's running at about 50%
efficiency under full load and get a transformer that can supply twice
the output power rating, or about 75VA.

If you're a total novice, though, the best thing to do would be to
take the thing to an electrical shop and have them measure the mains
current into it while it's fully loaded. That is, with a 4 ohm
resistor on its output. The resistor will be dissipating 36 watts, so
it'll get hot if the measurement takes much time at all to do. If you
have to buy one, a 50 watt resistor would be a good choice.

Ok, I have a feeling this is a stupid question but here goes....

If we assume that the draw is twice the max output (75w) would it hurt
if I were to use a transformer rated at 300w rather than one at 100w.
A friend has said they will lend me a 300w transformer, I'm just
concerned it might be too strong.

you said the appliance at 12v draws 3 amps = 36watts
if you now supply it with a 300watt supply you have enough power to
connect about 8 of these devices.

A transformer cannot be too strong, but it can be too weak. In the
trade, acquiring items with greater ratings than minimum is called
"pro-rating." If you use the 300VA - it's more correct to use the
term "Volt-Amps" (VA) when speaking of AC power - your design will be
just fine.

Here's a very good article that discusses just the subject you are

I used to smoke. I had your attitude. I smartened up. I feel better and my

clothes don't stink. (Yes -I also smoked a pipe as well as cigarettes and my
father who died due to other causes at age 86 smoked a pipe) but this
personal evidence is simply that -insufficient to make a case. So is the
personal evidence and examples cited by the author of the reference you
gave.
My present opinion is that "I don't eat shit so why should I breathe it?"
If you wish to do so, I have no desire to infringe upon your freedom.
If you wish to share your smoke with me, you infringe upon my freedom.

Even if the risk from smoking is small (and as with cell phone bases, the
state of "no-risk" is unprovable) my statement- the one that offends you- is
still true.

You're welcome

Hi Group,

I am wiring a room in my basement. It is a new room. I have purchased 2
books on home wiring and I am confident about doing the work myself.

Frankly, I am not so sure. At least, have your work checked by somebody
qualified. In most jurisdictions, you are actually required to do that
by law.

I
have 4 plug outlets, one light switch, two light ceiling outlets. I am
'daisy chaining' these together to go on the same circuit. As such, I
am pig tailing the wires to connect to the actual outlet devices. My
question is about the grounding. To save a few dollars, I purchased
these metal cases for the outlets that seem to be all I would need.
Except, when I look at the existing ones that were put in when the
house was built, they are a bit different, namely, there are two screws
in the case for the ground wires.

Normally, you have 3 wires in house installation: live (usually brown),
neutral (usually blue) and protective earth (PE, usually green/yellow
bicolour). Some heavy duty equipment may have 3 different live wires
(brown, grey and black) carrying the voltage with different phase,
giving a total of 5 wires. This includes kitchen ovens, air
conditioning, flow through water heaters and the like.

Only in very old installations are neutral and PE connected at the
outlet ("nulling"), this type of wiring has been forbidden for a long
time, because it prevents the use of residual current devices (RCDs).

By the way, have you included a RCD in your fuse box? If not, reconsider
because these thingies are real life savers if things go wrong. 30 mA is
the prefered size for house installation.

Hello

total novice at this so I'm hoping someone can help. I have a USA
appliance and the spec is given as:

INPUT 110 volt fuse protected
OUPUT 12 volt DC as 3 amps, circuit breaker protected

the plug is a USA 3 pin type (2 thin plugs at bottom, one round plug at
top). Am I right in thinking that the round one means the appliance is
grounded/earthed?

I can't find anything that relates to watts. Do I calculate this by 12
(volts) * 3 (amps) to give me 36?

Also, if I buy a transformer which is too low (Maplins do one at
45watts) will I blow the transformer, the appliance, or both!?

Many thanks

go to your local electronic supply store and get your self a

AC(240 Vac) to DC (12volts DC)converter that will supply 3 or more amps.
in the long run, it will be cheaper and easier for you.

Hi Group,

I am wiring a room in my basement. It is a new room. I have purchased 2
books on home wiring and I am confident about doing the work myself.


Frankly, I am not so sure. At least, have your work checked by somebody
qualified. In most jurisdictions, you are actually required to do that
by law.


I
have 4 plug outlets, one light switch, two light ceiling outlets. I am
'daisy chaining' these together to go on the same circuit. As such, I
am pig tailing the wires to connect to the actual outlet devices. My
question is about the grounding. To save a few dollars, I purchased
these metal cases for the outlets that seem to be all I would need.
Except, when I look at the existing ones that were put in when the
house was built, they are a bit different, namely, there are two screws
in the case for the ground wires.


Normally, you have 3 wires in house installation: live (usually brown),
neutral (usually blue) and protective earth (PE, usually green/yellow
bicolour). Some heavy duty equipment may have 3 different live wires
(brown, grey and black) carrying the voltage with different phase,
giving a total of 5 wires. This includes kitchen ovens, air
conditioning, flow through water heaters and the like.

Only in very old installations are neutral and PE connected at the
outlet ("nulling"), this type of wiring has been forbidden for a long
time, because it prevents the use of residual current devices (RCDs).

By the way, have you included a RCD in your fuse box? If not, reconsider
because these thingies are real life savers if things go wrong. 30 mA is
the prefered size for house installation.

when wiring lighting and plugs, the 2 two are not to be on the same
circuit. they need their own breakers.
color codes normally are Black for HOT, white for Neutral and Green
for earth Ground. the neutral and earth ground are to be connected in
the breaker box on the ground bus bar, then an earth ground electrode
and possibly a water pipe that is near by that has been conductive
tested connected to the ground bus bar using no smaller than 10 #awg bar
copper
wire.
this is the NEC codes the last time i looked.
P.S.
Remote fault breakers (GFI's) are also required in some localities.

just thought i was spit in my 2 cents worth.

I want to cause static or interference on a line that leads from
the wall to a callmaster IV made by Lucent. These are phones used in
call-centers... The line has eight wires and I think it is the same as

a computer data line?? There is no other power source to the Lucent
callmaster, so one of the wires must carry power. The wires are all
small however... It is the same cord as is attached to a computer modem

to a computer....


thanks for any help on this...


would a strong radio signal interfer??

Use anything that will create an electrical spark. For example a
mechanical buzzer, or a relay whose contacts supports a heavy load ( being
turn on and off quickly).
