One of the most frustrating challenges for control engineers and specialists is the potential early failure of interposing or interfacing relays used to drive inductive loads. This is especially true ...

The BOP series 200- and 400-W bipolar operational power supplies are optimized for driving inductive loads. They are designed to operate in a stable manner in Current or Current-Limit modes with loads ...

Despite all of the attention devoted to low voltage, low operating, and quiescent currents, and low power in general, the reality is that many applications require more power during real “work” as ...

Knowledge is power, allowing data centers to track and correct harmonics and power factor, avoiding costly energy waste, ...

Diodes Incorporated has announced further additions to its IntelliFET® range of self-protected MOSFETs. The 60V, 75mohms (typical) rated single N-channel ZXMS6006DG/SG and dual N-channel ZXMS6006DT8 ...

• Electrical power sources supply two types of power to inductive loads: real power in kW and reactive power in VAR. • Power-factor correction circuits can be either an individual style or of the bank ...

Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Recent studies indicate the level of knowledge and implementation of motor system energy-efficiency measures is low. A plethora of information on motor system design, best practices, purchasing, and ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
