    Whats B standing for?

    Once again found some strange marking: B.

    It looks like wire inside a ferit cylinder, in other words an inductor. Is that just a manufacturers weird marking?

      Pics plz or something? Wire in a ferrite could be anything. It could be house marking for seize or it could be "A" half and "B" half. But without more info saying its an engine would even qualify as a good guess

          It probably stands for Bead.

              I think I've also seen the prefix "FB", which I presume stands for ferrite bead. It was the same component as you described.

                  So basicly inductor, for supresing spikes etc., right?

                      Those are not actually inductors. They look just like inductors, but there is no coil inside them. They are used for noise suppression, just like the ferrite beads on the ends of cables.

                          New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
                          by wnlewis
                          OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

                          Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

                          This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

                          The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

                          Where may I find parts...

                          Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.
                          by emeskay
                          We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...

                          Vintage fan repair, copper wire question
                          by technicalspecialist
                          I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
                          It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
                          I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
                          I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.

                          I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.

                          The enamelled copper...

                          Heater element wire type instead of a fuse when troubleshooting a short circuit DIY
                          by sam_sam_sam
                          I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story

                          I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...

                          1070 GPU. DVI port removed, wire in its place, why? Stuck on low clocks too.
                          by GlenBrim
                          I got this recently as-is. Gigabyte 1070 video card.

                          DVI port is removed. I don't know why.
                          A wire is soldered across two spots where it looks like the DVI port was. I don't know why.

                          I've read of people simply ripping out DVI ports and the rest of the cards still working fine. Never read anything about soldering a wire in there for some reason.

                          The card seems to work fine, except it's stuck in low clock speeds. While starting a game or benchmarking, the clocks may momentarily increase to around where they should be, then goes way back down and stays...
