If you're looking for power supply systems that can convert power from either AC/DC to one or multiple DC levels you would need a switch mode power supply. Let's take a look at how these systems work. [vc_separator type='normal' position='center' color='#000' thickness='0' up='' down=''] These devices are...

When designing and testing batteries for powering any devices, the focus is energy efficiency and lifespan. For this reason, standard performance tests consist of analysing the discharge curves that characterise the battery behaviour. It is possible to measure battery life by observing these curves and...

Industrial Motor Control in the broadest sense of the term encompasses the different methods used to control an electrical system's performance. With reference to machinery, it involves the start-up, acceleration, d eceleration, reversal and stopping of the motor and the applied load. Here, we take...

Electrical systems in industrial and commercial settings are very different from ones on residential premises. The former generally carry three phase power which are different conceptually and in terms of the manner in which they work. Three-phase conductors are much smaller and their over-current protections...
