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 ...

Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system. These inrush currents can cause sags ...

Here are the steps required to select the transformer and how to design the circuit needed to meet the end use in a manner that prevents transformer saturation Average current-mode control (CMC) ...

Associated with alternating current (AC) power lines, harmonics can infiltrate both the voltage and current of electricity. This results in costly and disruptive damage to the electrical distribution ...

[Editor's Note: The need for controlling the level of harmonic current in power distribution systems is widely recognized as an important factor in selecting and applying adjustable-speed drives (AFDs ...

The two-switch forward has some obvious advantages. These include the transformer magnetization energy being recovered while the EMI is reduced. This improves the efficiency and reduces the filtering ...
