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 ...

AC-AC converter technologies have become pivotal in modern power systems owing to their capability to directly transform alternating current from one voltage and frequency level to another without ...

AC to DC for harsh environments The steps involved in converting a three-phase AC power supply add their own complexity and components, contributing to the loss of efficiency and adding mass. In turn, ...

This is a simple voltage driven inverter circuit which converts 12V DC signal to single phase 220V AC using power transistors as switching devices. This is a simple voltage driven inverter circuit ...

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, ...

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 ...

Semiconductors are central to the renewable-energy transition, enabling efficient conversion for solar, battery storage, and DC consumption. Single-stage power converters, using wide-bandgap devices ...
