I'm going to make up a low-voltage AC supply. 0 - 35V, 1A and variable frequency, 0 - ?. It'll be made up of circuits I've built and used before, designed to be run from 12VDC http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/joecolquitt/variable_ac.gif The power amp would normally have a large DC-blocking cap to protect the speaker I could leave it out, but if it's in, how would that affect the I vs V phase ? Is that related to Power Factor wastage ? wbr -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
