@Olin. Thank you for answering to my last edits. The amplitude of the sine wave can be read near it (0, 1, 1000) means 0V offset, 1V amplitude, and 1000Hz in the LT spice simulator. Regarding the AC labeling, indeed I don't know why this is here but I have checked my schematic and the voltage is cons... (more) |

Following the answer of Olin, I think that the usefulness of the bootstrapping is more to provide a return path to ground without loading the AC input, than to reduce the AC input current. But I don't know how to formulate and use that quantitatively. (more) |

@Olin No, I see no flaw in your logic, perhaps because there is no real logical deduction in you answer. Everything you say makes sense to me, but the Art of Electronics is still a widely estimated book. So, I've done a simulation and will post it as an edit to my question. You may be surprised.

Something is unclear to me in your answer: you essentially say that this circuit improves nothing, even at "high" frequencies. But this is the circuit given in the Art of Electronics, I mean it is indeed a follower. Do you mean that this book is misleading here (well, this would not be the first tim... (more) |

Thx Olin. I haven't think about the push-pull. If you can cite other configurations that need complementary pairs, I'm interested to know. (more) |

@Andy. Yes, I'm sure this was evident for you, and this is probably hidden inside your terms "picks up". For cranks like me, it takes some time to understand because the pickup voltage is usually measured with a probe referenced to ground (not to the pickup source). So another cap coupling to ground ...

Something here is missing to explain the L1/L2 voltage (say, a leakage from L2 to G). See the second schematic of Olin. The only difference is that you interpret his cap C1 in another way. But the logic is the same. Perhaps to complete this scenario, add another capacitive coupling to ground, so that... (more) |

Yes. The residual loads inside the house explain nicely the effect. So, it should suffice to disconnect every electrical device in the house and to measure the L1/L2 voltage again to prove that scenario. Curiously, the only difference with my scenario is how you interpret the R3 resistor (R2 in my sc... (more) |

The problem with leakage to ground is that apparently you'll always have a voltage between L1 and L2 not smaller than between L2 and G, that is 90V. So, I give up and wait for the answer of the real pro. (more) |

A small bird told me that you have an answer :-) (more) |

Oh, and of course with one more resistor at the top, to make the schematic entirely symmetric. (more) |

Nice. Perhaps even more clever: in your second schematic, two zener diodes back-to-back in place of the single zener, and a triac in place of SCR1? (more) |

That's exactly what I suspected. Thank you. An almost rhetorical question: do you know some ersatz for the diac?

Wikipedia writes everywhere that this is a non profit, free organization. And so do many "free world" sites.
I suggest to explain in few words that "this is a non profit organization (and will always remain so),
managed by highly qualified volunteers and experts, in order to ensure a content of ... (more) |

If this is the added value, it may be a good idea to write that in big characters at the entry of the site.
For example, duckduckgo is a search engine site that does not track you (among other things) and they write that everywhere
(otherwise, why using them and not google). You hope that the ex... (more) |
