3 minutes in... Did they swap the brown/blue pair of the transformer?

@Manawyrm 8 ай бұрын

Exactly my thought, the 10V unloaded, 8V loaded winding would be ideal for the logic supply (and probably reduce that quiescent current draw quite a bit) and the 14V winding could then power the heater... @SDG Would you be willing just to swap those? I mean, the unit is kinda useless like this anyways, worth a shot :D

@jaro6985 8 ай бұрын

Good follow up. The pulse skipping even at max load is going to be necessary to allow a dead time when measuring the thermocouple. Maybe 90-95% would be the maximum. But they can just compensate for this easily by increasing transformer voltage.

I bought it and used it in the past two month. Very fast heating ( about 3 seconds) and measure input watts at about 60. I think you have a faulty unit or something happen during the disassemble and assemble.

@@ickipooBlue wire is for the 5v regulator as it is only 9vac. The brown wire ( middle position)is at 12vac .My incoming voltage at 215Vac ( backup power voltage). Maximum wattage for 245 probe is 42 watts. If I connected to my house 245vac, maximum wattage is 62 for the supply 245 tip.

Fast heating but what about heating delivery? compared to the review of the last video when perform very poor on the coin test, yours perform better? the 245 cartridge are able to heat a medium ground plane?

@thetechgenie7374 4 ай бұрын

I beginning to wonder if they assemble it wrong. I would assume they would use the 14v tap to run the heating element and the 10v tap to run the logic would have been how I would have wired it?

Originally, C210 tip for T210 handle of JBC is designed to provide power upto 40 watt. With the huge research and development program, even JBC is still unable to produce more power with the same tip architecture, how a chinese copy company could achieve 80 watt performance? BTW, your knowledge and explanation are really good which makes your videos more informative. Thanks a lot.

@CanaleYouTubeGeneralista Ай бұрын

The c245 tip has a power of 120w, the GVM H3 has a transformer of only 80w, isn't this insufficient power for the c245 tips ?

SDG: I was wondering if that long rectangular component is it an optoisolator, or some other component required for detecting when the AC waveform crosses zero? It was in the previous video about this station. You didn’t know what it was.

@kb65342 8 ай бұрын

They swapped blue and brown windings. The brown wires look thicker and they should go to power the cartridge with the higher voltage. That is why you need different plugs for such things to make assembly idiot proof.

@acoustic61 8 ай бұрын

That transformer doesn't appear to be large enough to supply 80W?

@davadoff 8 ай бұрын

It only has to get the iron up to temperature, then it will throttle right back. If it can’t handle 80W continuous, it should have a thermal switch mounted to the transformer like a microwave. Or maybe they monitor & protect against it in software, but who knows if they do? I guess probably not.

@Mike-gs7eo 8 ай бұрын

If they swapped the secondary and you can get ~80w from this, then it may still be a fairly decent unit at the price point

@antibrevity 8 ай бұрын

Good job. These companies should have their feet held to the fire. It's simple, really: do what you claim. Swapping the wires shouldn't fix the problem due to the fact that the board obviously thinks its delivering 100%. Note that this comment was auto-deleted by youtube the first time, apparently because it contained the word "frodd" spelled correctly .

80W transformer, splitting the load between the brown and blue loads? I.e. 40W each, with the brown only using a slight bit but the blue limited to their 40W? Much like how a lot of Chinese Li-Ion batteries claim mAH ratings which you'd assume to be at the higher voltage of the battery pack but it is really at the cell voltage, not the pack output. It's 80W, you just can't use it.

@TheEmbeddedHobbyist 8 ай бұрын

just goes to show that power out = power in - losses. but you have to remember that they are talking in Chinese Watts it's a common mistake to assume they are the same as ours. 🙂
