/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/5000v-polarisation-index-simulatorThose who have read some of my insulation tester reviews may remember that I have a 3 phase polarisation index simulator, that I utilise for one of the bench marking tests I carry out. This provides a consistent test bed, that should produce a comparen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/5000v-polarisation-index-simulatorWed, 14 Oct 2020 22:05:45 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8559db79-68c6-4217-a160-16bc78b629abgenebren1<p>Great work Donald!&nbsp; It is always a great day when our measured results so tightly match or theoretical values.&nbsp; That is a very satisfying conclusion.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=9782&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/5000v-polarisation-index-simulatorWed, 14 Oct 2020 20:17:36 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8559db79-68c6-4217-a160-16bc78b629abjw07521<p>Hi Donald,</p><p>Thank you for sharing your very interesting redo of the simulator. I built a high voltage power supply a while back for a couple experiments. For the DC section I used high voltage capacitors and diodes that came from the flyback sections of old TV sets. My supply is an old 1:100 ratio oil furnace igniter that is fed by a 150 volt variac. Everything about this power supply scares me so it mainly just sit on the shelf and collects dust.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I always enjoy your posts as they give me a window into a corner of electronics that is very important to all of us but is usually overlooked.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=9782&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
