Welcome to the first in a series of articles focusing on electrical calculation basics. This month, we'll discuss the most fundamental of calculations — those for current (I) and kilowatts (kW). We'll ...

This whitepaper compares single phase and three phase circuits from the component count, stress level and complexity standpoints. The document shows that on most cases, single phase circuits are the ...

If you’re building, renovating or planning to install a solar battery, your builder or installer might ask whether you’ve considered upgrading from single-phase to three-phase power. This upgrade ...

Many older industrial facilities use single-phase, oil-filled transformers made for pole-mounting but installed at ground level to create 3-phase power distribution systems. Usually, primary and ...

The major drawbacks of conventional diode or thyristor rectifiers are overcome by active power factor correction; this further provides additional benefits. Operating principles and features of single ...

There are many reasons why one would want to measure voltage and current in a project, some applications requiring one to measure mains and even three-phase voltage to analyze the characteristics of a ...

Home machinists can often find great deals on used industrial equipment, and many a South Bend lathe or Bridgeport milling machine has followed someone home. Then comes the moment to plug it in, and ...

Bridgeport Magnetics Group Inc. introduces a new line of dry-type single-phase and three-phase low voltage ( Bridgeport Magnetics Group Inc. introduces a new line of dry-type single-phase and ...
