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 ...

No matter what the latest microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC has in store, their demands always seem to be the same—the need for higher current while operating at lower voltages. A core voltage of less ...

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 ...

A 48-V two-phase motor drive is a suitable choice for a low-cost micro-mobility or micro-hybrid propulsion system. 1 This is because the overall framework is efficient and cost-effective. As the DC ...

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 ...

The course consists of three weeks of materials and is focused on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, ...

Power supplies for today's high-performance microprocessors require high-current, low-voltage dc-dc converters with fast transient responses. Such supplies must deliver currents of greater than 100 A ...

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 ...
