Microsoft announces Xbox One keyboard and mouse support with Razer partnership | 220v Contactor Relay

If existing nominees don’t get confirmed before this congressional term concludes, they will have to be renominated by the White House in the new year. McConnell has emphasized that getting as many nominees through as possible is one of his key priorities this term and the next.

All of this, if you suppose that you are taking a full hand of cable. Got shocked a few times with AC (and DC as well) and since I was just thouching, not handling, I had no trouble to get away with it (just swearing A LOT and throwing my screwdriver through the room).

i built the rig that day. I put an ammeter with max hold on a circuit, plugged the circuit into a known 20 amp connection, and put a load on the circuit that simulated the instrument. Turn it on, 22 amps max hold, 13 amps nominal.

You completely missed the point. The safety regulatory doesn’t change regardless of the *perception* or the *knowledge* of the person using it. If you are selling a product or publishing a design, you may ended up being liable for the end users. Even if you are the person that design and build your own stuff, plugging in something not certified pretty much voids your home insurance if it happens to be the cause of a fire etc. On the other hand if you are playing with ELV from UL etc approved/certified supplies, you are covered.

The ones I’m talking about, they’re ubitquitous, supermarkets have them, don’t do dimming, just on/off. They seem to use a relay, from the clicking they make. I don’t think this one does dimming either right?

Chassis floats with just 2. My folks lived in the middle east before my dad retired and I visited them in 2013. You could feel 50hz on the refrigerator door handle. Touching their aluminum iMac gave a nastier jolt. I remember my dad telling me, “yeah, don’t touch that” after trying to plug in a USB stick.

This causes some headaches for a friend who has to deal with unaware contractors installing 240VAC or 220 VAC devices in condo kitchens what have 208VAC, not 240VAC. Some devices don’t work, some don’t work well.

continuing akismetuser212339447″ Using a mechanical relay for your thermal control _may_ make you crazy with the clicking. If you think you can take the madness, keep an eye on the make/break current rating, and the lifetime switching at the design current. Switching current and voltage is often far less than carrying current, and electrical contact life is short compared to mechanical life (Switching at zero crossing will help). Also note that failure mode of relays is possibly contacts fused closed – design with safety in mind, and have some sort of feedback. Something like a thermal cutoff fuse?

But who cares, there are plenty of (approved) lightning dimmers that are for replacing teh regular wall switches and they are usually *not* capable of dimming 2 KW loads which is the full capacity of a regular outlet. But rather just a few hundred watts, enough for its intended usage.

Actual 220V is present elsewhere, and is a convenient global average of 240V (UK,) 240/208V (NA), 230V (EU), 200V (Japan, though like NA it’s spit to 100V at normal receptacles). So if a manufacturer designs for 220V +/- 10%, it’s probably usable worldwide.

For a TRIAC I bend the middle pin forward 0.1″ – 0.2″, this is often done commercially and you can even buy them pre-bent.

I had my poke. Mostly people saying “may” or “could” invalidate your insurance and advising caution. Which is sensible enough. Also mention of laws mandating a professional installing things like new wiring for cookers, and other kitchen / bathroom stuff. Makes sense since there’s water about. This is the UK that I looked up, since that’s where I live. Our electrical standards are pretty high, mandatory ring mains, limits on spurs and wiring length, and even our mains plugs have half a dozen safety features built in (protection against the agony of accidentally stepping on one not included).
