I work a lot with high voltages and others frequently replicate my projects, so I often get asked “What voltage is needed?”. That means I need to be able to measure high voltages. Here’s how I do it ...

Today with modern technology at home and in the office, the interconnection of devices and systems becomes as essential as ...

In this guide, we explain the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) in simple terms for everyone to understand. For the optimal performance and longevity of electronics, it is important to maintain stable ...

Repeatable transients are frequently caused by the operation of motors, generators, or the switching of reactive circuit components. Random transients, on the other hand, are often caused by Lightning ...

The war of the currents was fairly decisively won by AC. After all, whether you’ve got 110 V or 230 V coming out of your wall sockets, 50 Hz or 60 Hz, the whole world agrees that the frequency of ...

Thank you for visiting one of our most popular classic articles. If you’d like to see updated information on this topic, please check out this recently published article, Low-Voltage Motors, Voltage ...

With the advent of the electric era comes an entirely new lexicon for the automotive enthusiast to familiarize themselves with—kilowatt-hours, MPGe, SAE J1772—but few seem as poorly understood or as ...

Improper voltage is the one of the greatest causes of failed compressors in three-phase units. We are allowed a 10% deviation over or under the unit nameplate-rated voltage. Most technicians know to ...

Assuming that they're in series, 6v nominally for alkaline, as low as 4.8 for NiMH. Batteries are specced in Amp-Hours, not amps--amperage is a rate, Ah is a quantity indicating the amount of energy ...
