Electronics Forum / Electronics / October 2005transformer polarity question US v AU
I've just purchased a new piece of recording equipment from the US, and prior to hooking it up i wanted check whether i'm gonna frazzle my new toy. The unit's input is DC in, polarity (-)--(0--(+), the AC adaptor it arrived with is 100-240V (50-60hz) output 12V 2.5A (+)--0)--(-). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Dean <tamam_shud@yahoo.com> ** You a member of the famous Aussie 70s rock band ??

Is the DC plug the common hollow tip sort ?? More details please. .......... Phil Hi Phil, sorry if my info was unclear... Here's a pic of it, i hope that helps clarify - http://www.users.on.net/~ozmusic/tas.jpg btw. no, not a member of shud (a fan though, obviously ;). yep...evolution is mighty fine album, keep that one stashed! Does it have a "figure 8" mains plug? If so then you can probably substitute an Australian cord. Your posted specs say it can handle 100-240V at 50-60Hz which means it handles both US and AU mains. Hi, yes...thanks for the advice, it does have a figure 8 mains. So it should be good to go? Cheers Dean > Hi, yes...thanks for the advice, it does have a figure 8 mains.

The academia, however, had some strange characters. One of my lecturers, a short bloke with a very shrill voice, always lectured in his academic gown. There was another lecturer who seemed a bit "slow" - the rumour was that he'd suffered a head injury in a car accident. At NSW U one of my sister's lecturers was a male transvestite who turned up to class in a frock. -- Franc Zabkar Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. > >>>>Saw it and them ( only just, hiding down in the orchestra pit) at the > >>>>Sydney Uni Union theatre in 1970.

My physics prof once proved his theory that man evolved from chooks by jumping up on the front lab desk and clucking, scratching and flapping his 'wings'. That was the most energetic we ever saw him - usually it was a half-stupor; wacky-t'baccy, methinks. Ken > One of my lecturers, a short bloke with a very > shrill voice, always lectured in his academic gown. Was this at Sydney Uni? if so I had a this bloke as well. We used to throw money at him and he would flap around in his gown picking it up. One day he jumped off the desk at the front hands in his gown. I think he thought he was batman. :) Funny or what! >> One of my lecturers, a short bloke with a very >> shrill voice, always lectured in his academic gown.

I have also become more compassionate with age. This trend better not continue dammit, I'll start donating to those annoying charity-tin rattlers :) As for the Prof, he might have tried to peck your eyes out if you had asked... heh >> Very very sad.

Everyday, at every station, at both ends, then there's Martin Place to navigate plus the professional beggars. Where's the Salvos? I sure one of the current affairs shows will do an expose ! I give larger amounts a couple of times a year now, but these people have started spamming me with mail, trying to make me feel guilty about something. Is there a nice way of giving them $500 and telling them to push off and don't annoy me? It seems when they have your details for a receipt, your history. Who knows what the Prof had under his cape, probably a bat ray gun that would have made my eyes melt. ;) regards Greg >> Saw it and them ( only just, hiding down in the orchestra pit) at the >> Sydney Uni Union theatre in 1970.

Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse Hi to all, Former regular poster, 16 year old "Arpit " has not been heard from on this or other NGs since late May this year - according to the Google Groups Archive. Back then he was planning a dangerous project involving high current and high voltages - he was enquiring about getting a high capacity AC power outlet fitted to do this. Maybe his parents "pulled the plug" ?? Hope he is OK. .............. Phil > and there was this little gem from the predator Phillis > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > ..............

Phil Thanks 'Jadzax' for the irrelevance or I wouldn't have seen. Phil, you bollocked a newb with your usual vitriolic bile and he was wasting his time wondering what the hell was up. I kill-filed you myself because I can't be bothered wading through all your rubbish postings in the search of a gem - there just aren't enough free minutes in a day to waste on the crap. That said, I don't think the others in question are proving themselves to be other than tossers with their crap, and I don't see any reason to doubt your motives wrt Armpit (sic. :-). Cheers. Ken "Ken Taylor" >> ** Thank-you Ken. >> >> Now please explain why you tell other folk to killfile me. > > Phil, you bollocked a newb with your usual vitriolic bile .. ** That is a really grotesque lie. I wanted an explanation from you - ie something with facts in it - not a pile of vitriolic, Ken droppings. Obviously you are either not seeing or simply not comprehending all my posts. ........ Phil > Phil was right to be concerned - no telling what happened to the kid. He > was > really tossing up some dangerous ideas. > > Ken If you go back and read Arpit's posts, do you ever see Phill showing his concern then. No. > > Phil was right to be concerned - no telling what happened to the kid. He > > was [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > No. Nor yours. Probably not mine, either. Still no call for what was said. Ken > <tamam_shud@yahoo.com >> Hi Phil, sorry if my info was unclear... [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > You could cut the DC lead and reverse the wires with a staggered join. I don't think it is? From original post: "The unit's input is DC in, polarity (-)--(0--(+), the AC adaptor it arrived with is 100-240V (50-60hz) output 12V 2.5A (+)--0)--(-)." +ve is drawn in both cases to the centre pin. No need to reverse the lead. Of course checking the voltage with a multimeter would be a good thing to confirm this. Ross "Ross Marchant" > "Phil Allison" >> ** Looks like the plug is the wrong DC polarity for the device. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Of course checking the voltage with a multimeter would be a good thing to > confirm this. ** Your point may well be valid - but the OP would have to be mentally retarded to not realise the two diagrams were the same. ........... Phil Thanks for all your advice, i finally plucked up the courage to give it a go and it appears to work fine :), just gotta actually record something now ;) re:Shud Yeah, it may have been "Evolution" or "Morning Of The Earth", both where Surf movies. I'm pretty sure they recorded an entire album's worth for "MOTE" and at some stage tracks where drafted in by G Wayne Thomas, Brian Cadd etc.. (to give it a more "POP" feel), which obviously worked at some level, as that LP sold bucketloads! They also recorded "Bali Waters" EP, and a rare "concept" LP "Goolutionites & The Real People" (give me a bell if you drag one of those out of the vaults ;). Cheers Dean |
