Discover the fascinating process of creating your very own DC motor or generator in this detailed instructional video.

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 ...

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 ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

AC motors are abundant in the HVAC industry. Every fan and pump application requires an AC motor. For efficient and reliable control, adjustable-speed drives are becoming a common companion for these ...

Electrical energy is supplied by the grid as AC, yet most devices that we use require DC power, meaning that AC/DC power supplies that make this conversion are one of the most common loads placed on ...
