What’s the better option: a single-phase controller design or two converters interleaved in a dual-phase design? This article shares insight into the design considerations and tradeoffs between the ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...
