Thanks for that Phil - I haven;t seen that at switch on - my concern was
that the adj might get bumped while the PS is off. However, I noticed that
at switch off the V meter jumped to a high reading (20+V) - but with my DVM
on the OP terminals I could not see that high reading - but I need to check
with the CRO as my DVM doesn't have a sample? facility and may not have
'seen' the transient.

One of the DSE bench PSUs was notorious for that.

[quietguy]

Thanks for all the ideas and info guys - I got inside the case for a short
time today and the mods may be harder to implement than I had
thought/hoped, as the OP terminals, meters, and V and A adj pots are all
mounted on a pcb which backs the front panel.

Will look more closely when I have time to completely disassemble the unit,
but at the moment I may have to...

Bridge the V adj pot to limit its range somewhat, if there is no room to fit
a cermet pot (don't know about these, have to research) - it wouldn;t bother
me if that limited the range to 0 to 15v or such.

The load switch may have to be external, as the connections to all the OP
terminals are PCB traces - but will see if there is a chance of breaking the
common earth to them

Adding fixed 5v is a good idea, but am not sure if I can do that and have
the OP metered - building a separate fixed 5V supply for my PIC and TTL
stuff might be the way to go

Cheers and thanks again

David

Not really a source as such but Altronics sell a hand tool for

crimping IDC connectors plus the conectors and cables. Only works
with IDC sockets and D connectors.

They're easy to make and doing it yourself will probably save time and
money.

Just a thought

A couple of years ago I ran an eithernet cable from my router in one

connector that would allow me to connect an additonal cable with the
traditional two male connectors? Thanks.

Just go to an electronics store (aka Jaycar, Dick Smith, etc. here in
Australia) and look for an RJ45 female-to-female adaptor. That will couple
two RJ45 ethernet leads together. I doubt it complies with any of the
ethernet or ISDN standards, but it's grass-roots networking and it works!

I use them regularly when fiddling with network arrangements and I need to
extend a cable a short distance to reach a device but have plenty of short
ethernet leads on hand.

+/-0.1Hz.


** The frequency never really changes, the phase merely drifts up and down
around the centre value.

No, the frequency of the mains does change, as the generators speed up
and slow down in response to the changing load. If a big load is
suddenly applied the frequency will drop until the control system on the
turbine compensates, and increases the power to turbine to increase the
frequency.

In a AC power system the only energy storage you have is the spinning
mass of the turbine/generator. If the load is too high the generator
will slow down, and if the load is too light, the generator will speed
up until the control circuit compensates. The problem with large base
load power stations is that for thermal reasons they can not change
there power instantly. They can only ramp up / down at a specified rate,
and can take several hours to ramp from half to full load.

On the other hand gas turbine and hydro don't have the thermal
constraints of a large coal fired station, and can supply the peak loads
more quickly.

That is - on a high res frequency meter, the effective AC supply frequency
varies from say 50.1 to 49.9 over a couple of minutes then drifts back
again.

It can fall well below 49.9 for several minutes if there is a problem
with an alternator. In Tasmania where the grid is much smaller, the
frequency deviations are even greater, and it not uncommon to fall to
49.5 or less for several minutes, but they still maintain an average of
50.000 Hz

The standards require accumulated time deviation be within +/- 5 seconds
on the east coast, and +/- 15 seconds on Tasmania.

He says the alternators have rotation counts each day and are almost never
the same.


** All the alternators right across the Eastern half of Australia are phase
locked when in use.

The phase angle of each generator varies depending on its contribution
and distance to the load. It is important for power system stability
that the phase angle from one end of the power grid to the other does
not exceed 180 degrees.

No, it not a "phase lock", as the phase between the alternators is not
locked, and does not have a fixed relationship. The phase between the
alternators does vary depending on the load.
