I am, as reader feedback regularly reminds me, not an analog or power electronics expert by any means, but what I believe we’re looking at here is visual evidence of a very rudimentary form of ...

In this article, a simple series-connected 18-pulse star rectifier is proposed. It consists of a double-star transformer, two sets of three-phase half-wave bridge rectifiers (THBRs), and a ...

When the four diodes of a bridge rectifier are not conducting due to the presence of reverse current, the “non-ideal” components create a resonant circuit that oscillates at a high frequency. Put ...

The circuit diagram of the musical rain alarm is shown in Fig. 2. The heart of this device is a rain sensor connected across CON2. The circuit comprises step-down transformer X1, bridge rectifier BR1, ...

When control input of the module gets an appropriate drive signal, the power mosfet will turn on. If you notice, the input has a bridge rectifier. This makes the polarity of the heated bed control ...

To enhance the harmonic mitigation capacity of the 12-pulse rectifier, a series-connected 24-pulse rectifier with a passive current injection circuit based on dual auxiliary transformers (PCIC-DAT) is ...

Security Code Lock – Circuit and Working. The circuit diagram of the security code lock is shown in Fig. 2. The circuit consists of step-down transformer X1, bridge rectifier BR1, 12V voltage ...

The Brooklyn Bridge exit from the eastbound lanes of the BQE is a tight, narrow, uphill turn. When long 18-wheelers try to make the exit, they get stuck on the ramp.
