Designers of instruments or control systems often find that component performance limits overall equipment performance in areas such as stability, frequency response, noise, and ESD. This is ...

Variable resistors have many practical applications including volume controls, eg on a radio, and speed controls, eg on a mixer or a drill. There is usually a dial or sliding switch on the variable ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...
