    Battery charging, not a problem, but trying to understand what is happening.

    I use smart chargers, and the basic design is each time it hits a set voltage the charge rate drops, so starts at 3.8 amp, then 3 amp, then 0.8 amp and finally 0.1 amp, however if the voltage drops below 12.8 volt on the 0.1 amp charge rate it will return to 0.8 amp charge rate, some times it...

    The hoist brake coil is a 48VDC coil. The original electrical system for the coil involved a transformer (480VAC-48VAC), rectifier, and resistors. The components are no longer manufactured and we are attempting to upgrade to using a stand-alone 48VDC power supply. When the brake coil is...

    UK Hello. I saw a question related to the Rangemaster Kitchener 90

    My own problem is that when the grill is on, sometimes the mains trips which takes out all of the other units like boiler freezer etc. The individual trip for the cooker does not drop out! Does that mean there is a short somewhere? I suspect the switch for the grill as yesterday I turned it a...

    I have 2:30 amp relays running the door poppers for my shaved door handles. They only seem to work properly when the Vehicle is running. Is this an alternator a battery relay or perhaps a wiring problem?
