Electricity comes in two basic forms: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). DC is handy to use and is easy to analyze. However, AC has some useful properties too. In particular, AC current ...

If you want to convert one voltage to another, what do you do? Well, if you are talking DC voltages today, you’ll probably use a DC to DC converter. Really, these converters generate some sort of AC ...

Zero voltage switching in power-conversion applications holds the key to efficiency improvements. Here we look at how ZVS-based designs can deliver those improvements across the widest possible load ...

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions – today launched ...

Marotta Controls has expanded its 1-STEP switching power supply product line with its fourth variant, the PS11200. Designed to replace legacy 400-A solutions, which typically produce unregulated or ...

This paper presents a new high-voltage integrated circuit (HVIC) technology that is optimized for AC/DC power conversion applications with increased digital content. The cost-effective process uses ...

It's going to be a long wait for Central Railway commuters before they get to travel on faster and energy efficient locals. The reason: The CR is going to miss the deadline for conversion of ...

The circuit is aimed to produce a 50W power converter that would supply different small appliances by converting 12 VDC to 220 VAC, and the process is known as inverter. 4060 – a 14-bit ripple counter ...

When modifying dc voltage from high to low or vice versa in a design, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the different converter types involved in the process. Power supplies represent ...

Batteries aren't one-size-fits-all, and neither is the way they're wired to your house. Here's what you should know about AC- and DC-coupling. When we think about solar panels and batteries, we don't ...
