As our planet continues to grapple with an ever-increasing demand for energy, the quest for cleaner and more efficient sources has taken center stage. One such energy source, nuclear power, has been a point of heated debate since its inception. The pros and cons, costs and benefits, and potential applications of nuclear energy are heavily …
An induction motor is an AC electric motor that works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It has a stator and a rotor, which are separated by a small air gap. The stator is made up of a series of coils that are arranged in slots around the outside of the motor. The rotor is …
HVDC transmission is a method of long-distance electric power transmission that uses direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC). HVDC transmission has several advantages over AC transmission, including higher efficiency, lower losses, and the ability to transmit power over longer distances. How HVDC Transmission Works HVDC transmission works by converting AC power to DC …
A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, or MOSFET, is one of the most widely used types of transistors in modern electronics. It’s a three-terminal semiconductor device that can be used either as a switch or an amplifier. Understanding how MOSFETs work and their characteristics is vital for anyone working with electronics. In this blog, we will break …
AC induction motors are widely used in industrial and commercial applications due to their robustness, reliability, and efficiency. However, it’s important to properly size the electrical circuit and components for a motor to ensure it operates safely and efficiently. One important factor to consider is the full load current of the motor, which is the …
Ohm’s Law states that the current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them. It can be expressed mathematically as: I = V / R Where: I = current (measured in amperes, A) V = voltage (measured in …
