Huh, that changes things a bit.
How would I then obtain a lower voltage relative to ground?  Also, my book
doesn't cover thevin, nortons theorems or node voltages!  Just basic
components, resisitors in parallel/series, capacitors...  Could you =
suggest
a book?
My second post regarding operating higher-voltage loads is still begging =
for
an answer too ;)

Thanks
