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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Absopulse Electronics FTT 3K Series has introduced a rugged, modular AC/AC frequency converter system that uses microprocessor controlled, high frequency PWM technology to deliver 3-Phase, 3000 VA ...

The phase margin in the compensation feedback loop of buck power converters is an indicator of both loop stability and the acceptability of the converter’s pulse response. The phase margin in the ...

Single-phase power conversion underpins a myriad of modern energy systems, where efficient conversion and meticulous control of power are critical for both performance and long-term reliability.

Article 455 provides the requirements for installing phase converters [Sec. 455.1]. Before installing a phase converter, read the nameplate to ensure the unit you ...

Boost power supplies are popular for creating higher dc voltages from low-voltage inputs. As the power demands from these supplies increase, however, a single power stage may be insufficient. This ...
