Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

Buck-boost converters produce a regulated output voltage either less than or greater than the input voltage. When the input voltage is higher than the output, the converter acts as a buck. When the ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. As the demand increases for higher-current, low-voltage multiphase synchronous buck converters, a method for sensing current without the penalty of ...

Figure 1 shows the analyzed MV 30mH inductor. It has been rated at the level of 10 A and is based on the nanocrystalline magnetic core. Double pulse test in the laboratory circuit diagram is shown in ...

[Kalle] tipped us about a quick project he made over a couple of evenings: an inductor saturation current tester. All the components used for it were salvaged from a beefy telecom power supply, which ...

The first step to reducing the energy consumption of your home is figuring out how much you actually use in the first place. After all, you need a baseline to compare against when you start making ...
