You are trying much too hard. I am just trying to figure out where the line is drawn with you. Is it only that you do not like the idea of anyone on Rec Boats doing something you don't do? You have created this straw man of subsistence hunting but you don't seem to be able to define it. Wouldn't a homeless person killing a deer for food be subsistence? Why isn't Tim doing it OK if he is eating the deer? I assume fishing is morally repugnant to you too? I don't do either one so I don't really have a dog in the fight but I am curious about the rules. I previously have stated over the years here my disdain for so-called "sport" hunting. A homeless man without resources who kills a deer to eat because he has no reasonable way to get food is not sport hunting. Subsistence hunting as I am using the phrase is not a difficult concept to understand except, perhaps, to you and a few other right-wingers here. Nope, homeless person is breaking the law. We have problems with homeless encampments in San Jose, who use grocery carts to trap endangered salmon going up the Guadalupe to spawn. That OK because they are homeless? You're confusing "legality" with morality. Let me offer an analogy. When the founders wrote and enacted the U.S. Constitution, they left the document silent on the issue of slavery. Because of that, slavery remained legal in the south. Legal, but not moral. The founders deliberately sidestepped the issue, even though by doing so they were morally wrong. I don't have moral issues with a hungry person with no other means to obtain meat-fish-poultry breaking the law by poaching an animal for his fire and table. *That* is subsistence hunting/fishing. The legality of it is an entirely separate issue. If you have hungry homeless people in encampments in San Jose, and these people cannot get food stamps or reasonably get to stores, then I am not offended by their poaching salmon. If they all can get to stores easily and have legal ways to buy enough decent food there, then there is no reason for them to poach, is there... Moral issues with fishing, Toad? |

Not so much with smaller battery chargers but anything that draws significant current (like an RV or Boat inverter/charger system) usually trips it. I've had problems with three different RV's. Works fine on a non-GFI circuit. I know of nothing in a switcher that should trip a GFCI and I have a couple of PCs that run just fine on the GFCIs. Current may lag voltage but Dr Kirchoff says the current in will equal the current out at any given instant and that is what a GFCI compares. AFCIs are different, they actually look at current "signatures" and those spiky switching power supplies can trick one. I bet your charger has regrounded the neutral, probably through an RF filter. That is usually the culprit. Wayne has the answer, A transformer. If the noise is not an issue to you, disconnecting the filter is always an option or just couple it to ground through a capacitor.. Low current devices like a PC usually are not a problem although nuisance tripping has been reported. Higher current draw devices (like an RV inverter/charger have more issues. There's nothing wrong with the inverter/charger or the GFI. It's a reflected component of the high frequency power supply induced into the power source line that confuses the GFI. Not an issue unique to my experience. You can find discussions on it elsewhere. Wayne's transformer recommendation works just fine. I ended up having to use a Hughes Autoformer for the RV's in Florida because the voltage where we were often drooped significantly during parts of the day. I measured as low as 105 vac at times. As an experiment, I tried using the Autoformer back up in MA on the GFI circuit and everything worked fine. You are not getting much isolation with an autotransformer. The primary and secondary are tied together. It still might solve the problem thought because the connection is on one if the circuit conductors so the differential toroid in the GFCI sees the current as being balanced I still say if you are tripping a GFCI, it is because there is a circuit from the line conductors and ground, usually a RF suppressor. It will be designed to pass more if you have a higher current switcher. I know there is plenty of "discussion" and plenty of theories but the guys who actually design them have the opinion I trust. Isolation transformers are effective in quenching noise (and in some cases arcs) that can be induced either in the supply side or by the item being powered. Basically acts as a big choke. Ever notice what's missing in high frequency switching power supplies? Big, heavy, iron core transformers. Switchers are great but they can be noisy. |

It was well understood that higher AC frequencies saved considerable weight on power components like transformers and servos. One thing about switch mode supplies ... there are many types and selection is dependent on application. Like everything their design is a compromise between performance, cost and other operating parameters. I think many run at converted frequencies of 50khz and higher, depending on application. At one company we had a pass transistor power supply. That POS was always a problem in certain areas of the country. Would pass every spike on the power line through to the output. The Rockies with lots of lightning were always faulting the disk controller. |

I don't have moral issues with a hungry person with no other means to obtain meat-fish-poultry breaking the law by poaching an animal for his fire and table. *That* is subsistence hunting/fishing. The legality of it is an entirely separate issue. If you have hungry homeless people in encampments in San Jose, and these people cannot get food stamps or reasonably get to stores, then I am not offended by their poaching salmon. If they all can get to stores easily and have legal ways to buy enough decent food there, then there is no reason for them to poach, is there... With the welfare net in California, those homeless get big bucks. Instead of spending on home or other worthwhile items, they prefer to set up an encampment with no sanitary facilities, and poach endangered fish, and spend money on drugs and alcohol. Yeah, cause they're broke.... http://joeforamerica.com/2014/11/welfare-payout-statistics-will-make-really-mad/ Have fun... |

Using the 'F' word all the time wasn't very nice. I don't know why anyone would call themselves something starting with the 'F' word anyway. Using 'T' for 'Toodle' is much more appropriate, don't you think? "Toodle Off and Die" sounds nice...has a ring. Doncha think? And all the upper case letters and asterisks is just, well, pretentious. Doncha think? It's like something a narcissist would do. Besides, there's always the physical resemblance to consider. Just remember to keep that smile on your face! http://tinyurl.com/kof5s9l |
