12:39 PM VanUnamed: ahah
06:10 PM rue_mohr: no wait, you need more high voltage separation!!!!
06:10 PM rue_mohr: why does the relay hold its own power supply on?
06:11 PM rue_mohr: .. you know you can just use a relay with a line voltage coil...
06:12 PM rue_mohr: but mains voltage will creep across those traces, carbonize the space between, then arc out is a flare of fire
06:13 PM rue_mohr: its a power fail indicator?
06:14 PM rue_mohr: I'm ignoring that the primary and secondary are labeled backwards...
06:16 PM rue_mohr: oh, is this a failover switch?
06:18 PM rue_mohr: and "your transformer primary connections are wrong" usually each half of a split transformer is alternated, aka 10 and 7 are one coil, 9 and 6 are the other
06:18 PM rue_mohr: makes series-ing them up easier
06:18 PM rue_mohr: not sure on that, but check for it
06:18 PM rue_mohr: ---
06:19 PM rue_mohr: if you want, I can help with a circuit to run a 24VDC relay from a capacitor dropper, smaller than the transformer
06:19 PM rue_mohr: 24VDC transformers seem to be the lowest current
06:20 PM rue_mohr: you would think 48V would be lower, but its usually not much better than a 24
10:35 PM rue_mohr: so
10:35 PM rue_mohr: "This headline is ridiculous. The US is currently cracking down on the people who harvest US tomatoes and sending them to a swamp concentration camp with no representation and due process, and publicly hoping people get eaten by alligators. "
10:35 PM rue_mohr: This is what I was talking about earilier
10:36 PM rue_mohr: I think the reply was "why would they not keep coming over to harvest our crops?"
10:40 PM rue_mohr: :/
