    rms voltage

    Seriously though.... Basically you are taking multiple points on the curve of the voltage sign wave. You are squaring the value. Adding all the values together. Then finding the average of these squares by dividing the total by number of points you have taken. Then and finally take the...

    rms voltage

    Taking points along the curve you apply formulae 1 to these points. Then if you want you can then take them over a time period if the waveform is a regular continuous function (which is is in the case of mains electricity) and apply formulae 2 using the time frame T1 and T2 and t...

    rms voltage

    rms is the root of the mean of the squares. Which is a statistician's way of calculating the area under the curve. Its the actual area under the curve that represents the flow of energy Now a nice sign wave approximates to an RMS of the peak as you say 0.707. Different curves obviously have...

    OS for a clockwork PC

    You'll be very very lucky if the Linux works!! Send me the motherboard manufacture and model and I'll see if an OS exists. Why don't you use the old windows 95 it was designed to run (ish) on this machines. and it will easily read and display your CD's

    CAT 5/6 & network wiring advice

    Honestly that is the same relativity as saying "I have have installed a fused spur and read the regulations, now can anyone tell me how to do this re-wire" Yes, there are not complex to install at all, you could probably achieve a working end result but there is so much involved in networking...

    Dead Desktop PC

    Go and get a new Power supply. What it sounds like especially with it working with the boards removed is overheat. The main air blows through the power supply. If your posh then teh PC may have secondary fans. Take the hoover and clean all the dust of the fan intakes and filters especially...

    2nd PC...

    Totally agree with Barx. The cheep cost of the router far outways the connection of two computers. However if you pursue..... 1. Connect the cable CAT5 to the two computers. If the lights on the network interface adaptor light then the cable is probably correct if they don't then you need a...

    Review of CalCard EXT1 Calibration Checkbox

    Hi all, Thanks for pointing this out. It is a left over from the early days when we were going to send the cards out "calibrated". This meant that they would have to be returned for calibration or a replacement purchased. As the design progressed and the technicalities of the requirement of...

    Recommed a good reliable laptop

    With regard to your power supply charging problem, A lot of laptop experience this problem over time and its due usually to the power connector breaking the tracks of the pcb it is soldered into. Not just the power pads but the sensor pads of the switch that detects the pluging in of the plug...

    Recommed a good reliable laptop

    HP Pavillion 7064 Look at this spec and this is what I would recommend. Good all round "domestic" computer where you're not paying for frills and bells that you won't use, nor need. Again I'd recomend Tesco's especially if you go into one of the bigger stores and they often sell the previous...
