A specialized test gadget that tests continuity quantitatively in both AC and DC modes could prove to be an indispensible bench test instrument. This article describes such a continuity test set up, ...

Ever wondered just how much being zapped by electricity hurts? Curious if AC is worse than DC? Want to know just how many volts a human body can take? Although many people might cringe at the shear ...

This Idea For Design shows how a gyrator circuit can be used to perform certain ac tests on units under test that require a dc-current feed. Designers have long used the gyrator circuit to create a ...

So you have power circuit breakers at your facility, and they seem to be just fine, sitting there quietly doing their job. What you may not realize is that even though your circuit breakers are ...

SL Power Electronics, a division of SL Industries, announces its 425 watt, single output TU425 Series AC/DC power supply. SL Power Electronics, a division of SL Industries, announces its 425 watt, ...

Here's an alternative to rewinding AC coils for operation on DC circuits. It's relatively simple - all it takes are a few calculations and a little bench testing. Want to skip the time and expense of ...

A DC-DC converter is an electronic control unit (ECU) that converts a source voltage from one level to another. To ensure the DC-DC ECU operates seamlessly, manufacturers first have to put the ECU ...
