When to use this gadget (series bulb current limiter)
Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API PDFCROWD
Whenever you receive equipment in your workshop and find either the fuse or the surge limiter is
broken you should not replace any of the two component and apply power because most of the time
the same component will blow again.
This will even lead to more damage to the equipment or worst still you find that you replaced an
expensive component and immediately you apply power the component is gone.
This will not happen again if you use this gadget whenever you encounter the above symptoms in
your troubleshooting work.
When you replace the fuse or the surge limiter and you power the equipment via the series bulb in
most cases you will observe the following.
1. Bulb is very bright and does not change even after one minute.
Means: there is short in the supply
2. Bulb light very bright and then goes down to dim
Means: There is no short-you can even power the equipment directly from the power outlet.
3. Bulb lights is Pulsating
Means the bulb wattage needs to be increased or there is some problem on the secondary side of the
supply. The power is trying to come up but being pulled down. It could be even dry joints on the
secondary side of the power supply.
Note: If you find the bulb light is pulsating try to increase the wattage of the bulb by using two 100
watts bulbs instead of 75w and 100w...for big screen use the 150 watts bulb and 75 watt bulb.
Also note that you can use only one bulb like 150 watts. It is not a must you insert the two bulbs for
the gadget to work.
For best results always use the dummy load (60watts) on the B.
