xthexderMost circuit diagrams do not draw current flowing in any direction at all. It’s just labeled + and -. I don’t see anything wrong with this.
That depends, do you want high or a low side switch? There are valid reasons for either depending on what you’re doing.
I’m confused are you saying that negative voltage is more deadly than negative voltage? Just because electrons flow from negative to positive doesn’t mean it’s any more dangerous what moves the electrons is the voltage potential. If you were able to have electrons flow from a source through you to the ground your just as able to have electrons flow from the ground through you to a positive voltage source.
They just don’t know what they’re talking about. Mistook it for AC, where one usually wants the switch on the phase side.
You sent me down a rabbit hole wondering if AC batteries are a thing, and apparently they are! I’m still not sure if any of the sources I found are scams, but they seem to be physically plausible. Interesting!
That certainly agrees with what I know, this is interesting though
I don’t. But these guys do
Why would someone tend to use a high-side device instead of low-side device?
I am trying to understand why someone would want to use a high-side MOSFET to switch on and off a load if they could simply use a low-side MOSFET. Using a low-side MOSFET requires a much lower VG
I’m saying there is more shock risk…
Switching the low side can also be dangerous in high-energy systems because the live conductor is always in circuit even when the unit is switched off. Switching in the high side ensures power is removed when the unit is switched off.
