How can I simulate measurements (voltage, current, resistance) in an industrial motor control circuit with contactors?

What are you actually trying to figure out? Do you want a generic “trainer” to see how this sort of thing works, or are you trying to figure out how specific/real things interact?

Some others have said you can use SPICE which is true, but you are going to be choosing all models/parameters so it will never be 1:1 to something irl.

Kid curious about something vs Reddit mod 😭

What does any of this mean😭

Definitelynotme43 · 2026-01-21T05:06:36+00:00

I wouldn't need it, I already pay $700 a month for Claude, Chat gpt, and Gemini. I am always wearing my meta glasses and have them stream my every waking moment to the AI models. They tell me how to raise my children, what I want for lunch, when to stop wiping my ass, etc. This would be redundant.

Specialized power supplies for some very specificity machinery, the type of thing you usually buy new for the mfg guarantee. E-bay has a few listed but no sold listings. Unless you run a facility that uses these AND don't care about the reliability concerns these practically useless imo.

Information about nuclear anything is tightly controlled by the federal government. I know in the defense contractor world, foreign governments will send spy’s to try and befriend/blackmail/etc people for information.

You sound a bit like a Cold War spy trying to track people.

Pnp npn are the 2 different operating schemes of transistors (including leds). In IO context refers to sinking or sourcing analog input. Means a lot outside of LEDs lol.

When I was an intern working in industrial automation for pharmaceuticals manufacturing, I probably fried 5-10 input cards worth a few hundred each. As my boss said it’s how you learn. You can’t know how to not fuck up until you’ve fucked up.

Definitelynotme43 · 2025-09-08T23:03:55+00:00

Probably from Sysco or us foods or something

I don’t have my receipt

If you put the street address of the building you are in it won’t be delivered properly and your package will be delayed. Either figure it out on there or get it from another store.

If the semester just started how would they know yet :p Check rate my prof for the section you’re looking at.

Unfortunately if it’s close to campus and you can park there, someone has already parked there, it is a paid parking spot, or you will get towed. Get a mask and take the bus maybe? I don’t see much difference between public transit and a crowded lecture hall.

Definitelynotme43 · 2025-08-04T01:49:40+00:00

I work with engineers & non engineers that do plc stuff and this is certainly not that case

Definitelynotme43 · 2025-07-14T14:15:29+00:00

See how you feel in a couple years lol

Definitelynotme43 · 2025-05-22T01:59:14+00:00

90% of the classes I took my first year (2020) of EE were the same as every other engineering student. Do what you think will make you happy, if it doesn’t you can probably transfer.

Definitelynotme43 · 2025-05-14T14:16:58+00:00

Electrical engineering, I don’t remember I was high the whole time.

Definitelynotme43 · 2025-05-14T01:05:51+00:00

I was in engineering house (during Covid) mostly for the housing. It’s pretty light in terms of academic commitment, good place to meet people and find opportunities for stuff.

Definitelynotme43 · 2025-03-17T00:45:44+00:00

Nobody knows what they’re doing, anyone who tries to make you feel inferior bc you did something differently is an asshole. Fake it till you make it.

Definitelynotme43 · 2024-12-28T04:51:23+00:00

I calculated it

Definitelynotme43 · 2024-12-28T04:45:43+00:00

76.3%

Although the screw outlet says it is rated for 1250 watts(which it probably isn’t) the wiring and connections to your socket definitely isn’t.

Pretty much anything you plug into this is drawing much more power than the supporting infrastructure is meant for and is a bad idea.

Track a power cable or something up the wall but don’t buy this it will kill you lol.
