Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in ...

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and reliability. Though often overshadowed by newer protection schemes, the crowbar ...

Abstract: 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 ...

Abstract: Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are conventionally based on a multistage architecture, with an input and/or an output ac/dc converter (for interfacing with the ac grid and/or the load), and ...

The evacuation of bulk electrical power over long distances can be done mainly by high voltage alternating current (HVAC) ...

This repository documents a comparative numerical study conducted as part of a Numerical Methods course. The objective is to solve a nonlinear diode equation arising in electronic circuit analysis and ...

One to two mark questions will start with command words such as 'describe' or 'explain'. Some command words are easy to understand such as: 'calculate' or 'determine' for maths questions 'complete' to ...

PARTS is a Python-based labelling engine for electronic components. It generates clean, consistent PDF labels with accurate electrical symbols, simplified-style package drawings and key specifications ...
