The firstelectrical drivewas designed in Russia in 1838 by B.S. Iakobi, who used aDC electric motorpowered by a storagebatteryto propel a boat. Industrial use began around 1870. Today,electrical drivesare used in many applications. The very basic block diagram an electric drives is shown belo...
Before understanding what an n-type semiconductor is, we should focus on basic atomic science. Atoms aim to have eight electrons in their outermost orbit, known as valence electrons. Not all atoms achieve this, but they all strive to reach this stable co
Ladder Logic Diagram is the most traditional and widely used PLC programming language. It mimics electrical relay logic (on/off states) and is visually represented in a format resembling a ladder, with rungs representing control logic. Ladder Logic is particularly user-friendly for those with a ...
A diagram is a visual representation designed to explain or show the structure of something, while a graph displays data points and their relationships through coordinates on an axis system.
What is an off-grid inverter? An off-grid inverter, also known as a standalone inverter or independent inverter, is a type of power conversion device used in off-grid or standalone electrical systems that are not connected to the main electrical grid. The primary function of an off-grid ...
Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) The EFT immunity test simulates the switching of inductive loads in the real world. The inductive load switching creates a small spark, which is a bursting of pulses. The device must be able to handle those pulses. ...
Below is the truth table for a NAND operation, and the circuit diagram of a NAND logic gate.NAND A B___ AB 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0NORThe NOR logic operation (which stands for "NOT OR") returns true if its inputs are false, and false if either of its inputs is true....
The complete guide to signal conditioning in data acquisition. Learn what signal conditioning is, types of signal conditioners, and the technology behind.
Displacement: A linear variable displacement transducer, or LVDT, is an electrical transducer used in measuring linear position. Linear displacement is the movement of an object in one direction along a single axis. Measuring displacement indicates the direction of motion. The output signal of the li...
As I mentioned above, a semiconductor has a dual property – conductor and insulator of electricity. This property depends on impurities added to the semiconductor material (Apure such materialis called an “intrinsic”). The impurities added to the material to change its electrical property are ca...
