UNTIL a few months ago the literature on the subject of electricity meters was entirely confined to articles in text-books on electrical engineer- ing, and the advent of a book dealing exclusively ...

As shown by the sub-title, this work is addressed to students of wireless telegraphy. It outlines, without very elaborate mathematics, the general principles of alternating currents and their ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Board-level designers often have concerns about the proper way to handle grounding for integrated circuits (ICs) which have separate analog and digital grounds. Should the two be completely separate ...

The world of electric vehicles can sometimes seem like it comes with its own vocabulary, and that's where we come in. Look out for our ABC of EVs series, to demystify the words and phrases you'll hear ...

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

Traditional power stations are increasingly being replaced by wind and solar power plants – but that means the power grid lacks a stable pacemaker. Researchers from ETH Zurich are developing a control ...

The first type of motor built is still in widespread use In the late 1800s, several inventors built the first working motors, which used direct current (DC) power. After the invention of the induction ...

- United States electrical engineer and inventor (born in Croatia but of Serbian descent) who discovered the principles of alternating currents and developed the first alternating-current induction ...
