Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

Part 2 of this series sorts the pros and cons of step-down (buck) regulators by conducting apple-to-apple comparisons, being as unbiased as possible. This involved the generation ...

A multimeter is a powerful tool for measuring electrical values such as voltage, resistance, and current, commonly used in ...

Conversely, even low voltage can be lethal if the current is high enough. So, which is more dangerous—voltage or current? The effects of electric shock on the human body ...

In every semester of introductory physics, an instructor (or a textbook) introduces the idea of Ohm's law. Ohm's law is a relationship between the voltage across an element, the current going ...

To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided.

This article describes how to measure MOSFET drain voltage and current. As part of that discussion it outlines how to use several types of current probes, how to identify the correct measurement ...

Conclusion This article outlines the methodology and fault detection methods employed to categorize and describe a PV system’s condition via IV (current-voltage) and EL (electroluminescence) images.

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology offers more efficient bulk power transfer over long distances compared to alternating current (AC) systems.

Current monitoring integrated circuits are readily available and under most circumstances do an excellent job, as do various instrumentation amplifiers, so building a current monitor using discrete ...
