    Question capacitors storage

    Once a year, capacitor reforming is required if stored for more than a year. the process is to slowly increase the voltage and bring it to rated voltage. the ramp up is 2 hours and more. this is how we store and handle devices with large capacitors. examples, VFD, VFD power cells, inverters etc.

    [Solved] Sony PS-F9 turntable. Disconnected component don't know where it goes?

    The transmitter is underneath the main board and shield by copper foil as you can see. You should find out the power wires connecting to it. the component is an inductor, used as a filter some where in series to positive or negative supply of the transmitter from main board. check near DC socket.

    Capacitor question. uf and MFD

    As far as i observed uf and MFD are used interchangeably. if you see physical size or mechanical dimensions of both to be similar, no worries. if MFD is referred to be milli farad, then the size should be 1000 times large.

    What might be cause of sudden left turn steering problem and how to duplicate this issue?

    I assume it is a hydraulic servo system to turn the wheels based on steering wheel position. The issue may be wrong feedback. if feedback fails the system will over turn. Another issue to check is electric servo valve (LVDT) if any. this should receive signal from ECU (current signal) to adjust...

    Distortion on one output channel of receiver

    It could be squelch control / auto muting issue, try adjusting IF frequency slightly (ferrite rod on IF transformer).

    C2073 Transistor is hot on standby and the channel is silent. Why?

    Are you referring to audio amp? what is the model number? posting name plate or relevant pictures will help you get right answers.

    Question on toroids and Joule Thief

    It should be very simple and you can make it to work by trail and error. Toroid transformer -- you can pull one from an old computer power supply and it should serve the purpose wire size -- what you have should work / you can pull from Ethernet cable wrap over another winding-- is fine

    H-bridge motor control

    You are welcome, mean time you can still add hysteresis by using the feedback and adjust it as required, i have attached a quick sketch on how you can achieve it.

    H-bridge motor control

    you have to connect the CT secondary across a suitable resistor to convert the current into voltage (AC), 0.1 ohm will give you 10V AC @100A, convert it using a rectifier and get DC output. Use an OPAMP comparator (set point and hysteresis can be varied) to get forward / reverse command or use...

    Can't figure out resistor - Trying to fix TV's power supply

    Its looks very low value resistor and 0.68 ohms, check if both are connected in parallel or not. Replacing the resistor itself may not resolve the issue. the issue may be shorted transistor or some thing else.

    SMPT power supply LY6806 based

    it may be difficult to find the schematic. if the purpose is to repair it, you can do it without schematic. most of the time one of the tiny electrolyte capacitor (the one across the power source of the driver IC) become faulty (less value). you can change it and check.

    Is it possible to make a 3 phase Sine PWM signal, 5 KHz with a PIC18F4550?

    you must be able to over come the challenge by adding more external hardwires. instead of holding a particular output at high for width "ON" time you can use external latch. another signal to unlatch. you can first develop and test a single waveform circuit and think of multiplexing rest of the...

    Combining both PWM outputs using two diodes may work.
