content: HelloIs there any member who can help me translate around two pages of russian text. It is regarding a circuit with russian text. I don't need whole translation, only need to know how the circuit works. Thank you in advance.

content: The text is full of very specific terms, it would be hard to translate without knowing anything about mines (in either language really).The text mostly describes operation of the mechanical part, which is not shown here.

content: It's very specific text, mostly about several electro-mechanical stages to blast a detonator.I can read it but I don't know apropiate lexic in english to accurately transtlate it.There's a battery, than dc-dc convertor ( EPH ) that charges capacitor, wich than discharges to a detonator. Plus there are many switches which prevents it from blasting accidentialy.

content: Thank you guys for the reply, this is actually from POM-1 scatterable mine. I am an ordnance fuze collector and mostly study the mechanical parts, however when I came across this I thought to ask for understanding the electronics part. By the way what are the 3nH (EPH ?), 3nT and 3n in the figure 10 on page 23? thank you

content: Quote from: DDT on April 10, 2016, 04:53:14 amIt is "EPN" (this forum does not like Russian letters) - electric voltage transformer. It is not an actual AC transformer, just a colloquial name.Quote from: DDT on April 10, 2016, 04:53:14 am"ELT" - electric pusher.Quote from: DDT on April 10, 2016, 04:53:14 am"ED" - electric detonator.

content: Hi, you are right, I couldn't use cyrillic font. As ivan7enych said the EPN is a DC-DC converter which I guess to increase the voltage. What do you mean by electric pusher? It is strange because both ELT and ED have identical symbols. By the way, some of those switches are actually a tilt switch, which is very interesting in design, I've attached it in case you are interested to see. thanks

content: Quote from: DDT on April 10, 2016, 05:20:26 amIt is 1:1 translation. I have no idea what it means or how it looks.Quote from: DDT on April 10, 2016, 05:20:26 amI think they are both electromagnetic devices. The pusher is probably a solenoid-like device with moving core activated by passing current though the coil.

content: Quote from: ataradov on April 10, 2016, 05:23:22 amTranslation would be more like "electricpyropusher" actually. Some sort of a pyro activated/powered mechanism? The other context it comes up in is rocketry (the mechanism for detaching the first stage, blah, blah,...)

content: Quote from: ivaylo on April 10, 2016, 07:04:26 amYes, indeed. Missed it due to really small font.In that case I would assume that both symbols represent fusible element from electrical point of view.
