I got my hands of a old NEBB (Norsk Elektriske Brown Boveri) medium voltage fuse. It is rated for 7200 V, 200 A and 350 MVA. The medium voltage fuse originates from before 1988, where NEBB was merged with ASEA into ABB. Medium voltage fuses are used at the secondary side of distribution transformers, which

The Toshiba Toughbook CF-18 is a laptop, used for field engineering work back from 2006 where it was released. I am doing a quick overview and demonstration of this laptop. A glimpse of computer history to have a record of things, as this was decommissioned and scrapped by the company that owned it. More than

This is the third experiment with the bank of 35 electrolytic capacitors connected in series. Results are better than the theoretical estimate, which was 6000 A limited by ESR. So getting just over 7000 A is good, but the result is still a little tame when it comes to action. These tests had the bank

Here I am doing a teardown on a IBM blade server HS22V dated back to 2010. The IBM BladeCenter HS22V blade server supports up to two multi-core Intel Xeon microprocessors and has eighteen memory-module slots, two SSD storage-drives bays, one Horizontal-compact-form-factor (CFFh) expansion card connector, one Vertical-combination-I/O (CIOv) connector, and one internal USB connector. Microprocessor:
