In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...

Try an experiment. Next time you are in a room with someone, ask them to name everything in the room. Only certain kinds of people will say “air” or “light.” For most ...

Applications ranging from consumer electronics to high-power energy-conversion systems leverage the benefits of dc-dc power converters in their designs. Among these, flyback converters are popular for ...

In this exciting video, we dive into the world of controlling high voltage DC motors and the intricate process of designing a ...

The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the component. The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series ...

The LM3914 is a truly versatile component. Besides LEDs, only a few other components are needed to make the ‘bidirectional’ bargraph voltmeter shown here. The circuit is similar to a conventional bar ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Table 100.19 from ANSI/NETA MTS-2011 provides recommended test voltages for proof testing and field testing medium-voltage power circuit breakers and switchgear. These three tests should be in your ...
