File description: Homemade "X-10 Amplifed Bridge" Your name: (optional) Jim Ferguson
File: Click here to d/l...
What does X10 call the "amplified bridge" or "bridge"?
All you need is a 0.10MF, 630V Capacitor across the 230VAC line.
It is the "bridge". Radio Shack price $0.58. Catalog# 90-2317.
X-10 will charge a LOT more. I don't know what an "amplified bridge" is
but I
guess it is a repeater for the other side of the 230 leg--It shouldn't
be
necessary. The capacitor works for all installations I have done. Just
put it
across any 230V breaker.
Good luck and--I'am ready for the flames.
