The maximum ratings of electronic components such as triacs are based upon the component having a notionally infinite heatsink, so in reality a lot of derating or heatsinking is required or use a much higher rated solid state relay. It's interesting how one of the relays featured here was the opposite way around regarding the specification in that it would make sense for a 25A triac could reasonably be in a solid state relay rated 16A. Personally, I run electronics with as low a load as possible to minimise heat generated and achieve maximum life. For a solid state relay, I think I'd be happy running maybe 30-40% of the maximum rating but definitely not more than 50%, although it does depend on the nature of the load and the exact specification of the SSR.
Thanks! I tried it with 2 highlighters, one of them worked fine after dipping it in water, the other one didn't - I guess the latter one had ran out of ink as well.
Tried this on my highlighter and it went from not working at all to working for the most part. Wasn’t a complete fix and I will need to toss it soon but it works for now!
bro are u serious it went from almost fully working to barely working at all. what you *can* do is just leave the highlighter closed for a month or 2. i thought i closed my highlighter correctly (but i didn't), and my highlighter stopped working almost completely. i left it closed for 3 or 4 weeks and opened it today. it was working a lot better! but not fully. i tried this and now my highlighter barely works. im gonna leave my highlighter closed for 2 months and hopefully itll revive again. don't believe this tutorial
Have a helper with your camera or put a Go Pro on your head and a simple test light will do. You don't need a multimeter unless you have a fault somewhere when your test light doesn't light up.
Seeing this as a European is so strange to me, most cars over here have a massive 13-pin connector on the back. (Left drl, right drl, both amber turn signals, brake, reverse, fog light, 12v battery, 12v ignition etc). Is it normal in the US for a trailer to have no more than 2 light bulbs on the back? Our camper trailers tend to turn off the fridge when the ignition is off, hence the 12v ignition wire.
I have a crimp tool that I got at Harbor Freight and it has different size dies just like the Powerwerks Tool so I am guessing that it will do the job.
Great video. Thanks. I appreciate that you didn't edit-out all the little temporary setbacks. Instead, you showed how you dealt with them. Most how-to videos go way too smoothly and that's not how things usually happen in the real world, especially for first-timers, who need the information the most.
