content: A product that Farnell failed stock rotation... it's years old never been used and hasn't seen the light of day until now...www.tester.co.uk/fluke-1653b-multifunction-installation-testerList price £1183 but to save all the moaning the cheapest I've found it is for £615+VAT on the web. This is the price for the latest version. The one I have is the older version (looks the same, does the same as far as I can see).Complete with Fluke DMS COMPL software with IR/USB/RS232 lead (can be used with Fluke 287/289)www.tester.co.uk/fluke-dms-compl-software-for-installation-and-appliance-tester]List £640 but on sale for £149 on the net.I know this version did have an issue with the firmware because of random lockups, but this one has just gone back to Fluke for the firmware to be updated and it's also been calibrated at great expense!! Oh and the button legends are in german but it's obvious what they mean (if you know German!).£400+VAT for the lot? All unused and complete and freshly calibratedWill ship anywhere at cost (£10 UK, £20 sensible euro etc). Only pay the VAT if it applies to you, VAT invoice issued.

Big box of Taewhatrans TS10L current transformers (at least 45)  - Page 1

author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: May 26, 2015, 06:07:12 pm
content: These are nice 85A (100A peak) current transformers with a precision 3000:1 ratio. I acquired these from a former employer in a clean out. I have progressively sold about 50 of these on eBay at approximately £6 a pop. What's up for sale is what's left. They're all absolutely new, never used.Datasheet/info:http://www.taehwatrans.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=product_02&wr_id=12Each transformer comes with long leads attached with polarity indication. They feature internal zener protection which will clamp at approximately 10V either polarity so they won't destroy a scope if you forget the termination. They will require resisitive termination to give a meaningful reading.It's a lot of work packaging individual transformers for sale, and dealing with idiots on eBay, especially those who think they can connect these across a mains cord directly, without separating L & N...I have counted at least 45 but there's bound to be some I've missed.Anyone want to take these off my hands for£100 shipped? It'll be a little more to EU or US countries.

My 300W precision electronic load is testing 50mA power supplies and small <2W LED drivers more often than anything else. A good PSU, though, is a must for every electronic enthusiast. We were just trash-talking the brand name, not their product quality. Who would lake to name their kid "Digimess"?

His Swedish girlfriend explained there was a word on the bucket which meant something genitals related in Swedish! So be careful!

content: Perfect to use for that 25VAC supply, using the 11kV tappings rather nastily and applying 400VAC to tappings 1 and 6 of the primary, and using the 400VAC side as secondary. You will need to do some rewiring of both primary and secondary transformer connections though, along with making sure the 11kV section that is unused is well insulated as it will have 11kV on it from autotransformer action. Rating will be much reduced, but regulation on the secondary will be very good.

Been through a couple of big boxes of random stuff today and most of it was semiconductors.Wrongly labelled, damaged packaging, no label, bent tubes, unidentified etc. Not returns, just stuff that couldn't be sold and so got piled up.This is not stuff I've cherry-picked. I went though the boxes and kept any full tubes/reels/bags didn't even look at what was in those for now. What I did throw in a box were all the single tubes, half empty tubes, stuff on tape that had been hand rolled and put in small bags, though hole and SM stuff that was in bags instead of tubes, antistatic boxes full of random stuff.There are bags of 100's of MAX232 and other 232/485 line drivers, 100's of expensive high speed AD amplifiers and comparators, waffle trays of PICs and ATMEGA processors, GPS modules, 7 segment LED, LEDs, power MOSFETS, diodes, transistors, bog standard TTL and CMOS family chips, TL084s, voltage regulators including simple switchers, memory, ceramic EPROMs, 2.5GHz switches, far too much for me to ever bother identifying. Huge quantity of stuff, all that I saw was still current and very useable/saleable stuff.So, 15Kg of quality semiconductors. Tens of thousands of items, hundreds of different components.£200 plus shipping please. If whoever buys it doesn't think it was worth the money then I'll give them their money back.SOLD
