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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What Does eBike Voltage Mean? When you look at eBike specs, you’ll often see numbers like 36V, 48V, or 52V. These numbers describe your bike’s battery voltage, and they directly affect how powerful, ...

Why it matters: Vcore, or core voltage, is the voltage that is supplied to power your CPU. The amount of power the CPU uses and the amount of heat generated are tied to the amount of voltage it draws.

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 ...

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 ...
