Tesla Coils, High Voltage and Electronics
The previous owner of this Danish vintage oscilloscope had tried to plug it in and the only result was smoke! I was asked if I wanted it for repair or it would be thrown out. The Radiometer Copenhagen OSG 42b …
Test, teardown and comparison of two DLP projectors. The Vivitek WD755 is from around 2013 and the older InFocus is from around 1998. They are both based on the Texas Instruments DLP chipsets and the technology and space it takes …
A look at a box of IGBTs and MOSFETs that I have salvaged from household electronics like microwave ovens, induction stoves, solar inverters, welding machines, car and battery charges and other common high power electronics with switching inverters. The TO-247 …
This is a short teardown of the smallest UPS I have yet found thrown out. The Belkin Regulator PRO Silver UPS 650VA (model F6C650-SER-SB) uses the battery type CSB HC1221W which has been discontinued. If not obvious, my daughter helped …
This is a complete teardown of a Hitachi L7450 HPLC Diode-Array-Detector. HPLC is short for High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The DAD uses UV light to detect a color spectrum through a liquid flow cell into a linear detector. This liquid …
This is the complete destruction and teardown of the Masterpact M circuit breaker. It is normally used to protect and control low voltage distribution systems. Some of the M series primary features are: nominal current: 800 to 6300A AC. Breaking …
Teardown and on-the-fly analysis of the circuits found inside a Kappa CF15 CCD camera. I got the camera with my Nikon SMZ-2T stereo microscope, that I use for electronics repairs and component identification. The camera was defective and taking it …
Circuit analysis, reverse-engineering and hacking of a Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi Multiradio base station FRGL amplifier. The user Da_Stier from highvoltageforum.net made a deep circuit analysis of the power amplifier, reverse-engineered how it works, built new printed circuit boards to …
Introduction I have here a circuit analysis of a 2100 MHz cellular amplifier from a UMTS basestation setup. The initial teardown video can be found in Nokia Siemens 3G Flexi 2100MHz 50W Amplifier Teardown (Part 1 of 3). Video Cellular …
I do a teardown and test of a Victron Energie Atlas Combi 12-800. It is a combined battery charger and 230VAC inverter. The battery charger of the Atlas Combi is suitable for a 230 VAC, (50 Hz) mains voltage. The …
