I love the smell of burning resistors in the morning

Actually I don't (it's a foul smell, and probably toxic). But I got to smell it few times today. As I mentioned in a comment on the last post, I'm testing airfield lighting regulators (or constant current regulators - CCRs) at the moment. The one I did today had a wiring fault in it that took a little while to find, so in the process I burned out a number of resistors. You get a nice little plume of smoke as they fry...hehe

I managed to finish all the main tests today, and it's doing a full load (10kW) heat run overnight tonight, and I'll have to go in tomorrow and take some thermal photos of it and then turn it off.

Ummm...hi...

I guess I should post something on this thing. See, this is the reason I've never had a blog. I don't know what to talk about.
