A well-known solution for electrical noise in industrial plants is the constant-voltage transformer, or CVT. These devices can filter distortion and notches from input voltages (see Fig. 1). CVTs have ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

Editor's note: I thought this might be a thought-provoking white paper for Power Engineers in our audience. It's quite in-depth but will surely lead to some excellent insights into controlability and ...

To investigate the electrical realm of high-frequency and high-voltage, Tesla invented an apparatus that pushed the limits of electrical understanding. None of the circuit's typical components were ...

Power-transformer designs minimize weight and cost based on three assumptions: (1) the power source is a sine wave, (2) the frequency is fixed, and (3) the voltage will not exceed a specified maximum.
