Could A Fire Have Caused The Loss Of MH370? | 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

@ [Martin] DC can kill you hours later because it goes through your body like lightning, it takes the path of the lowest resistance (usually the most moist path) and cooks everything in it’s path including vital organs.

But saws only bite in one direction, which is why the working stroke has to be in phase. Doesn’t matter which way the dudes are facing, they have to apply force to it in the same direction at the same time, and the other stroke is just returning back to starting point.

SSRs can actually contain what is used here: optocoupler+triac or they may use optocoupler+mosfet. Just like individual triacs you will find that they suffer from the same issue: high power dissipation. A quick looks shows BT137 will burn 20W to switch a 5A load, I see 6W for the first 10A SSR I encounter. This is too much to dissipate in a small junction box isolated inside a wall. Meanwhile, a 10A relay will dissipate maximum 2.5W through the 0.1ohm contacts.

Certainly not as dull as a Golf. The estate, sorry Sports Tourer, with more rear space might even tempt me.

Using SO for internal wiring is something that I have often done — it is resilent, flexible, and high temperature. Also a joy to strip.

Read ‘Hack’ as in ” don’t really know what they’re doing” or ” shouldn’t really work but does anyway”

If ever there was a right time to change the name, it’s now, as this ground-up, all-new car launches with all the incumbent R&D investment and expectation you might expect for a vehicle that has been benchmarked to beat the class best. So while you might reasonably argue that it would have been more straightforward if the naming U-turn hadn’t been made several months after the car was unveiled as an Auris at this year’s Geneva motor show, the truth is that when Corollas start running down the line in Burnaston, Derbyshire in a few months time, surely only Google will recall it.

A lot of times these days, it seems like we hackers are a little like kids in a candy store. With so many cool devices available for pennies at the click of a mouse, it’s temptingly easy to order first and ask questions about quality later. Most of the time that works out just fine, with the main risk of sourcing a dodgy component being a ruined afternoon of hacking when a part fails.

That’s how you may get some serious, even life-threatening, internal RF burns without noticing anything.

I first thought we were about to see the actual moment when it was about to blow. But this is post mortem autopsy.

The layout looks good too, but I’d recommend for version 2 that you increase the creepage distance between the HV and LV – particularly with regards to the LED. My own habit is to place an actual “border line” on the silkscreen. Nothing is allowed to span that line except for galvanically isolated components (isolated power supplies, opto-isolators, etc).
