Green tea and matcha come from the same plant and share many benefits. One is not necessarily healthier than the other, though matcha may be slightly richer in nutrients due to its processing. Matcha ...

Abstract: The deployment of inexpensive thyristor/triac controllers improves the efficiency and does not increase the power factor of induction motors (as measured at the input of pole transformer) ...

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are fast becoming the most popular lighting option. Industry forecasts anticipate the market will continue to expand at an annual rate of 20% from 2011 to 2016, with the ...

It is estimated that by 2030, up to 80% of electric power worldwide will rely on power electronics in some capacity. This makes power electronics crucial for improving energy efficiency, reducing ...

In general, inpatient vs. outpatient care depends on how long you need to be in a hospital or clinic. Outpatient procedures are handled on the same day, while inpatient procedures require overnight or ...

Having issues getting various Thyristor Spice models (Triac, SCR, Diac and Sidac) to work under Qucs-S. I have tested many in LTSpice and a few using ngspice. For example, AC_Dimmer_3.sch is tested ...

In Part 3 of the Power Electronics Course we’ll look at power electronics components such as SCT, TRIAC and BJT. As seen in previous articles, the high current flows through cables and high section ...

Snubbers are the energy absorbing circuits used to smooth the voltage spikes caused due to the circuit’s inductance. Sometimes, due to the overcurrent, overvoltage and overheating the component gets ...
