This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

This Design Idea is able to turn off inductive loads at a very fast rate. When connected to a load (here 15mH + 10?), the modified freewheeling path in the clamping circuit based around M2 reduces the ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

The rules of the National Electrical Code are written for people who have a pre-existing knowledge of electricity. In order to make sense of the Code, you must first understand basic electrical ...

IT was originally supposed that separating contacts in low-voltage, low-inductance circuits interrupted the current without arcing provided the supply voltage was lower than the ionization potential ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Use of electromagnetic induction for cooking purposes is witnessing widespread uptake around the globe. The market for ...
