Faulty no-volt relay machine switch

From bigclivedotcom. This was sent a while ago by Mike for our exploration. It’s a machine start/stop button that automatically releases when the power fails. In this case the button was not latching properly. See if you can spot the really dumb mistake I made in the video. I prefer to leave the mistakes in,…

Lidl vs AliExpress LED candle teardown

From bigclivedotcom. A look inside some of the more recent LED candles with a more realistic colour and flame effect. Compared to the first LED candles that were often sodium yellow and flickered violently, these ones are much more subtle, and gently undulate the intensity of the warm white LED. The LIDL version has the…

Brain melting genius buck converter circuitry

From bigclivedotcom. For such a low component count circuit, these new era power supply ICs take a bit of time to get your head around. Aside from the fact that they can accommodate over 375V DC directly (500V MOSFET), they have the MOSFET, current sensing and lots of control circuitry crammed into a tiny transistor-sized…

Industrial 3-phase electrical noise filter

From bigclivedotcom. An unusual item I found on eBay. It’s a bare three phase 10A 240/415V industrial noise filter for use on equipment with variable frequency drives and other devices that could create high frequency electrical noise. The most notable features are the large common mode suppression choke with three separate windings on a common…

Disaster of a product – so many things wrong

From bigclivedotcom. Not the most dangerous product I’ve taken apart, but one that is much more likely to be in common use, thanks to extreme promotion on marketing sites. Where do I even start with this? Totally non-compliant plug with no fuse. Copper coated aluminium flex. Completely metal-free earth/ground wire. Random polarity colour assignment. What…

Solar pendant light teardown

From bigclivedotcom. Why use just one microcontroller when you can use two. It’s clear that this is a modular design where the panel can just control a simple light or something with more features like this one. But there’s a compromise. It means that the light defaults to on and half intensity at dusk and…
