The harnessing of electricity has played a pivotal role in human history and has exponentially expedited our growth as a species. Since becoming a household commodity in the late 19th century, ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

Milwaukee, Wis. — LEM has introduced the AHR series of AC and DC current transducers that offer precise measurement of nominal currents up to 2000-A true RMS, which extends the existing family that ...

Electric vehicles are an important wave of the future, offering motorists a cleaner and more efficient way to travel. But when it comes to charging their batteries, electric vehicles have a particular ...

If you work with electronic-based products, than you are likely familiar with alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), and the differences between the two. Lesser known about these two ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...
