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 ...

The need for the current waveform to track the voltage on a three-phase power system leads to a second set of requirements, in addition to those for a single-phase power factor correction (PFC) system ...

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 ...

The three-level, three-phase SiC AC-DC architecture. T-type inverter and T-Type inverter with SiC MOSFETs topologies. Totem-pole topology implemented with SiC or GaN. High power density has steadily ...

No matter what the latest microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC has in store, their demands always seem to be the same—the need for higher current while operating at lower voltages. A core voltage of less ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...
