Light emitting PN junction devices such as LEDs and laser diodes are easily modulated by superimposing signals on to the…
Testing is usually performed on DC machines to establish efficiency and power losses. A brake test is a direct technique…
The greater part of the substations in the power systems are focused on changing of the voltage level of the…
A photoelectric effect is any effect in which light energy is converted to electricity. When light strikes certain light-sensitive materials,…
A substation can be defined as an assembly of apparatus used to change some characteristics like voltage, AC, DC, frequency,…
Let us consider an inductive load taking a lagging current I at a power factor cosΦ1. For us to improve…
Solid-state soft starting is the most commonly used technique for starting induction motors. It provides a smooth build-up of current…
The Impact Avalanche Transit Time (IMPATT) diode is a high power radio frequency (RF) generator that operates from 3 to…
Servo motors are typically employed in closed-loop position control; for example let us consider the following application, where the angular…
