Are there any considerations I need to make when designing the traces for these AC and DC circuits? I know that I need to make the traces wider where power is flowing, and I was going to try spacing ...

Here's an alternative to rewinding AC coils for operation on DC circuits. It's relatively simple - all it takes are a few calculations and a little bench testing. Want to skip the time and expense of ...

When picking a switch to use in electrical design, many people believe they can use any switch, provided its current rating is more than the maximum load in the circuit. This, of course, isn’t true.

As the story goes, the rock band AC/DC took its name from a label on an old sewing machine in the Young brothers’ home. It must have meant that the machine could run on either alternating-current or ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

In low-cost, high-speed motor applications, especially those inside the home, the universal motor dominates. They are as ubiquitous as the countertop blenders and the power tools they inhabit. But not ...

Here's an alternative to rewinding AC coils for operation on DC circuits. Want to skip the time and expense of rewinding AC coils so they can operate on DC? Or are you won dering if it's even possible ...
