Comment Post #291295 Where did the image of the PCB layout come from? It's not in the mini-circuits document you linked. Please also show the schematic as an image.

Comment Post #291213 1) Use a white back ground 2) Crop so that wasted image spaces are minimized 3) Use a decent resolution 4) Remove information from the image that doesn't relate to the question 5) Check that your posted images are clear and concise.

Comment Post #291110 The PLC is meant to be weather protected so there's no way that it should see humidity levels that low.

Comment Post #291085 Nevertheless, the TVS diodes are offering no protection and, they would likely protect the device if chosen to be the right voltage rating (irrespective of root cause).

Comment Post #291025 You have to make sure that the op-amp doesn't deliver significantly more than a 90 degrees open loop phase shift at loop gains greater than unity. Most op-amps will be fine but, if you really push things too far to get a rapid response you might come unstuck. Source followers do not have the "only on...

Comment Post #290533 I guess I'm used to isolators for bespoke SMPSs that need tens of kV/us dv/dt withstand capability in their barrier.

Comment Post #290533 The ADI devices have very small clearance and, no doubt not zero barrier capacitance so, depending what voltage is rattling around on one side of the isolator relative to the other might mean quite significant barrier currents. I'm mentioning this in case you over-looked it. A device may be protected...

Comment Post #290448 The graph on the website you linked doesn't tell you anything other than current reduces in an inductor by a factor of ten when the frequency rises by a factor of ten. In other words it's useless padding by Magnetics to make their page look impressive. When current reduces by ten, flux density reduce...

Comment Post #290448 **I think this calculation is wrong. The website that I mentioned before mentions the max flux density in ferrites at 400 kHz as being close to 0.04 T. Is this correct?** That is not correct and neither do I see that being mentioned on the link to the magnetics website. Also, why are you using an LLC...

Comment Post #290284 Maybe your capacitors are acting microphonically and some (that are more microphonic) take longer to get a settled reading. It's a long shot but, it's all I could think of. I think it might also be related to the triboelectric effect.

Comment Post #290231 It's too broad. Any answers will become out of date. What the OP asks for may be country specific. It shows virtually no details of what the OP may have done already.

Comment Post #288153 Your upper picture of the phasors shows \$I_2\$ and \$I'_2\$ <-- they don't appear in the equivalent circuit shown below. Consistency is needed to give an answer. Neither do the loads (if I read the phasor diagrams correctly), match truly capacitive or truly inductive loads. The resistive load scenar...

Comment Post #287801 I'm not buying it. Anyone who gets deleted should have their questions closed to prevent further new answers or comments and thus benefit the original (but now deleted) user.

Comment Post #287801 In "another place", when this happens, the question gets locked pretty immediately when a fake ID is reported.

Comment Post #287746 Draw a schematic of what you tried. How did you measure 350 amperes? This sort of current requires very specialized equipment and power supplies. Maybe you meant 350 mA?

Comment Post #287728 That is NOT the circuit you posted initially. How can you expect decent help when you post half a circuit? What Olin said about your original circuit being a mess is very true.

Comment Post #287257 It's a dc output that is unspecified but about 1 kW. The input supply is around +/-250 volts DC. There is no 3-phase connection. Output is variable between 300 volts and 600 volts. Thanks for asking.

Comment Post #287257 No, I just don't want to use a transformer. Sure there's current sensing and voltage sensing and specialty drivers but these are beyond what I'm asking about. Basically, how would you configure the single ended power supply version to work with split input supplies is what I'm asking.

Comment Post #287232 Not trying to be picky here; just trying to clarify when you say \$R_{23}\$ is the resistance at point X seen from the input, wouldn't it be easier on the eyes if you said it's the resistance at point x with the input disconnected. Maybe I have misinterpreted. Similar story for \$R_{13}\$.
