>I got some
Ring
transformers for dichloric
LV
lighting
model No. DET-105, has anyone tried these on an
>LD10/11 and if so do they work okay?
I dont
know
the answer to Kens question but a safe way to test it would be to put a
500W or
1000W halogen floodlamp in SERIES with the transformer to test. If the LV
load
is about 50-100W then if all is well there will be a dim light from the
floodlight. If however the Floodlight gives a bright light or a surge of
bright
light when it is switched on then the electronic transformer is taking a
large
surge which could damage the LD10. If all is well remove the Floodlight and
try
the Transformer directly on the LD10.
The
reason for the floodlamp is to limit the maximum current that can flow.
With a
500W halogen this will be 2amps, 4amps with a 1000W. This might still cause
the
fuse to blow in the LD10 but will not damage the triac. By comparison, if
the
Transformer was unsuitable there could be a surge current of several
hundred
amps for a few milliseconds which would turn the triac into an
Ex-Triac.
Just
noticed the advert that was at the bottom of Ken's last
posting.
An
advert for losing weight. Given that more than one of the people on this
list
are built for comfort not speed and that this had been mentioned on more
that
one occasion, I have deduced that .....
a.
Yahoo MUST be reading our posts.
b.
This advert was directly targeted at those of larger than average
proportions.
My
excuse is that I couldnt possibly fit all my accumulated knowledge into a
smaller storage unit........OK so the real reason is that I dont get enough
exersize and I eat too many Pizza's.
Must
go.....got a KAT5 component delivery to collect from the Post Orrafice.
Ordered
from Rapid at 1500 yesterday, arrived before I got up today. Thats what I
call
service ;-)
