I just spoke to Ryan at WorldAglow, and he says that it is in fact bad for an inverter to give it significantly less el-wire than it is expecting, and that it's bad for the inverter to have no el-wire connected as well. He suggests switching either a power resistor or a cap into the circuit when les...

Re: El-wire capacitance
Thanks for the reply, Gyre. If only it were true that information is supplied on technical sheets! I've ordered el-wire and inverters from a number of different on-line suppliers, and they never come with even instructions let alone technical specifications! ElWire is sold through several distribut...

Re: el wire
not quite sure I "see" your whole method... but could you not just build a "dummy load"/channel? Then bury/hide that dummy segment out of sight? Just a thought A dummy load of actual elwire for these drivers would cost upwards of 25 dollars for the inverter with the broadest range (20'-100'). Could...

ElWire Control and Sequencing Questions
I know there are some burners out there who know all there is to know about ElWire, and I'm going to try to pick your brains here for a minute. I am designing a custom sequencer for some ElWire clothing for BM2k9. I'm an embedded programmer, so I'm looking forward to programming some interesting pat...
