These days, homeowners are clamoring for pendants that hang from the ceiling, moody undercabinet lighting, recessed lighting and outdoor path lights that illuminate the edge of the front walk. Of ...
With the rising popularity of residential and commercial landscape lighting, end-users and homeowners have begun looking for systems and components that combine easy installation and adequate safety ...
Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...
In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management.
Cincinnati, Ohio — Ferroresonant transformers from Foster Transformer provide a stable power output (typically &plusmn3%) for input voltages that vary as much as &plusmn15%. The standard square wave ...
Each of the three basic types of light sources — incandescent, fluorescent, and HID — has its own particular applications and advantages. The proper selection of a lamp type will ultimately depend on ...
Bob is a service technician who is well trained and nationally certified. However, he sometimes suffers from the same confusion that all technicians occasionally do — the facts that he gathers may or ...
When you design a transformer for any power converter, you face several compromises. You must trade off core size against the number of primary turns and flux density. Another trade-off is the number ...
step-down transformers decrease the voltage. The transformer in the diagram above is a step-down transformer – there are fewer turns on the secondary coil than on the primary coil. Type of transformer ...
Current transformers can perform circuit control, measure current for power measurement and control, and perform roles for safety protection and current limiting. They can also cause circuit events to ...
