Reactive power - Reactive Generator research from GotoLuc - discussion thread

Luc,

I forgot to ask you; you have +194mW displayed for GRID power when CH2 is inverted. What power is displayed when CH2 is NOT inverted?

[gotoluc]

Ah man!... things are getting much worse now ... I've got 90 watts out and a negative Mean.

Are you sure this is the right way?

I'm running out of water to cool my resistors

See the scope shot

Why are Luc's scopeshots so pixellated? I've never seen them like that from a Tek scope before. Even if the traces themselves are rough because they only represent a small number of samples, the text boxes and the rest of the image should be in higher resolution, shouldn't they?

even isolation transformers can carry the earth ground across.

Really!... mine is just a raw transformer with 2 screws on each side, so only hot an neutral is connected on in and on scope side I don't connect the ground to anything. So how can ground be carried over?

Probably because I open them in windows image viewer and use screenshot pilot and make a png file so I can upload then. This site is not accepting bitmap (Tek regular file format) for some reason.
