Surge Protection and Lightning Arrestors

TMN Updates - Thu, 07/30/2026 - 13:40
Power ElectronicsLoad Surge Protection

Supplementary to EMI/RFI/EMC Immunity of an Equipment. Many Installations are subject to Highly Disruptive Electrical Environment not just EMI. Depending on the budget and the situation a solution has to be found. Sometimes a CVT or an Isolation Transformer can do a lot of good. 

Converting all Energy inputs to battery energy and having a Isolated Synthetic Sine Supply may be an expensive but good solution. Either way the devices that face the harsh environment have to be over rated along with these protections.

Quadzilla 4 in 1 Chip

TMN Updates - Sun, 07/26/2026 - 15:01

This is a booklet published by National Semiconductor that lists many applications for their various "quad" - 4 circuits in one chip - devices.

Voltage Controlled Oscillators, up-down staircase generator, time delays, limit comparators, and so on, all made with quads containing amplifiers or comparators. Here is a new concept of not only using the advantages shown for the digital world, but the ability to use simple quad linear devices to build more complex circuits.

Analog DesignQuad Comparator LM339

These devices consist of four independent voltage comparators that are designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from dual supplies also is possible, as long as the difference between the two supplies is 2 V to 36 V, and VCC is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage.

Notes delabs - Thu, 07/23/2026 - 17:28

When the smell of Ionized Air and Burnt plastic reaches your Nose; you need to check the Mains Plugs and Sockets of all heavy Electrical Appliances for Sparking.

Replace even if slightly tarnished. It is more so in 15A plugs and sockets driving Heaters or Motors.

"The goal is a site where the learning of electronics is hands-on and fun. And the SPICE circuit simulator is a great software tool to achieve that goal. It hit me the first time I used SPICE - simulating is fun! And because it's easy to use, I've spent a lot of time building and exploring circuits." - Rick
