A phase converter provides three-phase power from a single-phase source. Old-style mechanical converters use a hybrid motor/generator, while electronic converters use capacitors and other devices to ...

Home machinists can often find great deals on used industrial equipment, and many a South Bend lathe or Bridgeport milling machine has followed someone home. Then comes the moment to plug it in, and ...

A phase converter is a device that converts electric power from a single phase to multiple phases or vice versa. Most phase converters produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, ...

In a power-supply topology for a computer system with a 12-V input and a 1-V, 20-A output, currents are high enough that duplicate power stages can be used to reduce stress and spread the thermal ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

Monolithic boost converters can convert low input voltages to a higher output voltage, all in a compact solution size. However, when the output power requirements increase, so do current levels and ...
