Totally agree with Fuchs here.... I've been into sourcing components for quite critical applications for decades, and I don't for a second believe all the BS served by boutique vendors. "Rolling your own" capacitors without serious machinery is just nonsense.. the production spread will be far too h...

Is that cab really suitable for an EVM12?.... There is amo a reflex cab designed for the EV....

Over in this corner, ozone generators are used for removing odors from e.g. cars, etc.... somewhere you can hire one and put everything in a small closet or tent of sorts.... ?

The clue with an intergrated Sch-PCB package, is that when the schematic is done and transferred to layout, all connections - aka netlist- follows, When you then start moving components around, all connections are "rubber banded" and shown as you move things around... make a printout, and -voila- yo...

There's Eagle, KiCad and several minor ones..... commercial versions are from expensive, to very expensive.... Eagle has a fre version and an upgrade paid version....There's also some pcb only prog's, but the basis of a good layout is the schematic with it's netlist and footprint definitions... KiCA...

There's Eagle, KiCad and several minor ones..... commercial versions are from expensive, to very expensive.... Eagle has a fre version and an upgrade paid version.... KiCAd seems very good ( have just started), but has it's kinks, but frankly, they all do.. Most of these programs have rather steep l...

Varistors are for over voltage protection... usually from spikes on the network. While it will short to ground if you connect to a too high input voltage, it will also most certainly burn the varistor.... if the circuit breaker pops before something else..... anyones guess is as good as mine...

Beware..... most VU meters are just mA-meters that requires a drive circuit to operate correctly....

Back in the days when TVs had the chassis connected to one phase, it was a common problem for us with IT power networks. With IT there's no neutral.... If you then had a scope with line ground connected to scope chassis...... Boom.... A lot of modern scopes have separate ground and chassis earth, - ...

Do you ship out of USA?

- been using GE RTV for sealing outdoor connectors for years...no problems... just make sure connections are OK before sealing up...

Take the resistors you need, - usually 10 or 20 ohm ww's will do, and dunk them in a quart paint can with oil... add connectors, switches - whatever..... if you need sustained loading, - use a gallon can.... This has been used for RF for ages....

Over the years, I've used bucket loads of toroids for various purposes, and I always mount them as shown in the pictures above. Using the supplied metal disc and rubber gasket on top, does not create a shorted loop, - only if you for some peculiar reason should use a bracket ( of sorts) to tie the t...

A bunch of parallelled 1-2W resistors to suit impedance, in an empty paint can or similar filled with oil... any oil will do...
Banana jacks or plug to suit...

Google Kicad tutorial.... there are several levels of tutorials online..
