(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) For all signal-chain devices to operate properly, each requires a stable-voltage power ...

Power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) are three-terminal silicon devices that function by applying a signal to the gate that controls current conduction between source and ...

Power Factor (PF) is a measure of how a load draws power from the source. When the current phasor leads the voltage phasor, PF is leading and when the current phasor lags the voltage phasor, PF is ...

Troubleshooting refrigeration equipment often requires measuring various electrical properties such as voltages, current flows, and resistances. Understanding these basic electrical fundamentals and ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we explored PLC basics and voltage sag susceptibilities. In this segment, we present PLC voltage sag test results along with guidelines for making PLC systems more ...

Battery input (portable equipment) - Because of the size and weight restrictions of portable equipment, this power-management subsystem is usually integrated with the rest of the electronic system.

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology offers several advantages compared to alternating current transmission systems. For example, it allows more efficient bulk power transfer over long ...

Editor’s note: This article is part of our roundup of USB-C battery packs. The simplest way to discuss electrical power is in units of volts (V), current measured in amperes or amps (A), and watts (W) ...
