A phase converter provides three-phase power from a single-phase source. Old-style mechanical converters use a hybrid motor/generator, while electronic converters use capacitors and other devices to ...

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 ...

A phase converter is a device that converts electric power from a single phase to multiple phases or vice versa. Most phase converters produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

Nonisolated DC/DC step-down voltage conversion is almost exclusively based on the ubiquitous buck regulator topology. The multiphase buck regulator has inherent advantages over its single-phase ...

Power supplies for today's high-performance microprocessors require high-current, low-voltage dc-dc converters with fast transient responses. Such supplies must deliver currents of greater than 100 A ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

Single-phase power conversion underpins a myriad of modern energy systems, where efficient conversion and meticulous control of power are critical for both performance and long-term reliability.
