    I used to watch your videos because I wanted to repair something. Now I'm watching your videos because of entertainment and there are a lot of things to learn from you. Thanks Sorin, keep this YT channel up ;)

    Great video. In my HVAC business we see this kind of problem a lot. Insects get into the cases of outdoor refrigeration compression units when the weather gets cold, and they congregate in between the contacts of three phase contactor switches because of the heat coming from contactor coils. I’ve seen bugs take down 10 horsepower walk in coolers with $8000 worth of food in them...

    The internal fuse is a T5.0A. The "T" means time delay. In other words slow blow.

    • @johnathanasiou9284
      @johnathanasiou9284 3 роки тому

      From memory T stands for Traeg which I believe is German for delay or similar.
      Swecheck had a fantastic booklet on fuse types years ago

      The fuse on the board doesn’t really matter, since the short was before it. That’s why it didn’t blow…

  • @johnathanasiou9284
    @johnathanasiou9284 3 роки тому +3

    That the internal fuses didn't blow, but the mains plug fuse did can be described perfectly by kirchoff's current laws as demonstrated in this case by the very low Rl being the cockroach itself being closest to the 220v mains supply

    Hi Sorin. Greetings from Australia. Great video as usual :-}. Now, when you connect the light bulb(s) in series with your device, in case of a short, you limit the current to the device. Say, with a 100W bulb you get the current limited to 430mA @230V. So you can test your board WITHOUT blowing your fuses, and something actually might get hot. Of course, if you want higher current, use more bulbs - a total of 230W for 1A or 460W for 2A and so on. I have built my AC current limiter out of 4 bulbs, that I can individually turn ON or OFF each, giving me more flexibility without changing the bulbs for the different power. I am sure you knew this - just wanted to explain for other people watching and wanting to learn something :) Regards, Jerry.

    @repairfreak 2 роки тому +1

    That must have really stunk when you cooked that bug!
    Once I absolutely could not find a short that was blowing fuse. I put in a larger fuse and watched for a pop or pillar of smoke. This led me directly to a shorted transistor. Luckily the board wasn’t damaged in the process. Replaced the transistor, put back in the proper fuse, problem solved. I highly DO NOT recommend this troubleshooting method, for it could create unrepairable board damage, eyeball damage, or even catch your place on fire! I now use a variable voltage ac transformer 0-130V ac “in America” and use a 500W photoflood bulb in series with my hot wire wire on my power cord using a flange base bulb socket and a junction box wired up with with a male plug on one end, and a female ac receptacle on the out side of the bulb which I plug my device under test into. Only the hot wire travels through the incandescent bulb filament, the white common and ground just goes around the bulb without any connection. The bulb filament on the hot in series acts just like an inline fuse to lower the current if there is a short in the circuit. The brighter the bulb, the more direct of a short in the device under test. I can test pretty large amps with a 500w bulb, if no short it passed enough current/voltage to actually let the device under test operate normally if the bulb isn’t glowing.

    And the t.v set, i have never seen a socket do that before, madness lol.
    The plug looks non polarised, so it does not matter the way it goes in.
    Mains goes through the bridge rectifier anyway, so it does not matter at all.
    I have never seen a cockroach in the uk, maybe the set was made in malaysia?.

    By using a 2kW heater, you're limiting the current enough for your circuit breaker to not blow, but that's about it. Perhaps there's value to that in this case as to not shut down your live stream, but we shouldn't let the watchers think it does much more than this as a light bulb would have done.

      I mean, it's easy to say "the logic is... this" after you see what the problem was. In reality, how many appliances have you ever encountered in your whole life where the short was caused by a bug. Truthfully it's probably the last thing you'd ever check for.
