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 ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) based on the boost principle can convert a low voltage into a higher voltage. For this purpose, the standard boost topology is used as shown in Figure 1. 1. A simple ...

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 ...

In dc/dc-converter applications in which the input voltage may be lower or higher than the output voltage, you can use either a flyback converter or a SEPIC (single-ended-primary-inductor converter).

Monolithic boost converters can convert low input voltages to a higher output voltage, all in a compact solution size. However, when the output power requirements increase, so do current levels and ...

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 ...
