Discharging a capacitor through a lamp.
5C30.30 • D+0+16
Discharging a capacitor through a lamp. Throw Switch A to the right to discharge the capacitor bank through the lamp, causing a flash. Close knife-switch B to put 120 VDC. across the lamp, causing it to glow continuously. 120 V.D.C. (panel). Short the capacitors before putting away.
