Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Editor's Note: Here's another take on the transformerless AC line power supply, which finds use in some well-insulated, low-power devices. Our technical reviewer pointed out that C ac should be an ...

A new reference design developed by ROHM Semiconductor uses a single microcontroller (MCU) to control both sides of the AC-DC power supply — the power-factor-correction (PFC) AC-DC converter stage and ...

Power-control modules are circuits comprising devices such as silicon-controlled rectifiers, triacs, power transistors, and power rectifier diodes. Power-control modules are circuits comprising ...

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 ...

Selecting the right solution to optimize the distribution of power to the connected loads is imperative for maximum system uptime. Switches, breakers, remote signals across Ethernet and automated ...
