Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

DC Circuit Components provides a comprehensive overview of the different parts that appear in DC circuits, including source, path, control, and load. DC power sources include batteries, generators, ...

A DC-DC converter is an electro-mechanical device or circuit that transforms a DC voltage from one level to another according to the needs of the circuit. The DC-DC converter, which falls under the ...

The rapid expansion of high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids, driven by the massive integration of renewable energy sources, has underscored the critical role of DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) and ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...
