Re: Stus-List DQOTD - What is a Arcotronic 50 uf Capacitor for?

actually that is way too big for a galvanic isolator. But it is about the correct value for a ferro-resonant battery charger; notice the AC rating. The charger uses a synchronous loop (L & C, tuned to 60Hz) to keep the supply voltage fairly constant. The charger part just uses a diode bridge,

Hi All, Back on earth, gear heads who read practical science, could engineer all kinds of things themselves. I’m guessing a galvanic isolator was planned, and like many projects never quiet finished. Then the lawyers out numbered the engineers, lots of paper work ensued, and surveyors wanted

Chuck, Hilarious — and kudos to anyone who understands the oscillation overthruster reference — cause no matter where you go, there you are. No flux capacitors on my boat — we go back in time by engaging the warp drive and slingshotting around the sun. Seriously — we do have a warp core on b

The light-medium will be a 155%. I considered going larger but was unable to work out the trade offs. With PHRF Lake Ontario there is not much of a penalty, they switched to 1 sec/mile increments on adjustments a couple of years ago. I would see -1 FS and -2 NFS. Even with -1 sec/mile I was unsu

It depends on if you view sailing as a Corinthian sport or a NASCAR type sport. One team famously got caught making 7/8s scale cars, more than one got onto using fuel lines that were hugely bigger than needed, line an inch or two or three, to actually function as long fuel tanks. Joe Coquina Fro

I seem to recall the C&C 37+ Owner's Manual talks about a 1, 2 or 3 (not 4) battery system. Now, I know why. They apparently never intended to have 2 batteries in that compartment. Of course as our boats added refrigeration, electronics, and all sorts of other do-dads, owners added a 4th battery
