      From: stevwolf58@gmail.com              The only switch is in the pump house is directly Wired from the fuse box to       that switch and then to the pump. The switch happens to be a ground fault       protected Outlet. Which I added as the original was not fault protected. The       current setup uses the        power as it comes from fuse box in house.              On slightly separate topic but related I thought I would set up the original       diode circuit on a test board to understand and learn from the concept.       I'm using 400v 3a.diodes and 100 watt light bulb. I will not use this for       anything over 3a, befor you ask.       However it does not seem to work. I get no ilumination of led. I have tred       lowering the R value down to 10r. Still no light.       I then tried to increase the load, not exeeding the diodes amps still nothing.       I'm frustrated it's not workinh.       I then found a circuit by David Johnson. Popular on this NG years ago. He has       a circuit almost the same as the original giving near top BUT he uses only 3       diodes and 10r. I tried this and no luck. I wondering if it me or not. I know       that David Like many        of you are very knowlegabe. I can post David circuit if you like. But I'm not       home right now.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
