Been busy and haven't been able to post because we haven't got all the glitches worked out of our relativistic heavy ion collider experiment for our quark-gluon plasma replications:

I knew it would have to be something important to keep you off the Insult thread. One of the frequent problems I have with my home relativistic heavy ion collider is with the unipolar IR power supply involving the AC line contactor. They sometimes melt, and will leave some of the phases in a conducting state even when de-energized.

The typical failure scenario is that one of the anti-parallel SCRs in the output of the SSR fails to open. The voltage then appears for only about 75% of the cycle. This is due to the inductive lag of the coil current. When that reaches zero, the one good SCR shuts off.

Hope this helps,
