Re: flourescent ballast resistance

Interesting light fixture. There is not much room inside. I’d be...

Re: Turbo Start QPET 16V/25A racing charger repair
Turns out the SCR's are actually O.k. when tested with my bench PSU. The DMM and another component tester didn't have enough oomph to trigger the gate. :smack:

Re: Turbo Start QPET 16V/25A racing charger repair
Ordered some Little Fuse S4035JTP SCR 400V 35A TO218X with isolated tabs. That should do the trick. Didn't find anything wrong with the components on the Gate.

HIS235 translates to SCR 200V 35A. It should be Cathode, Anode, Gate. Both SCR’s are shorted cathode to gate (pin 1 to 3). The tab and anode (middle pin 2) are wide open. The case style is a TOP3....
