Here is a simple but inexpensive inverter for using a small soldering iron (25W, 35W, etc) In the absence of mains supply. It uses eight transistors and a few resistors and capacitors. Transistors Q1 ...

It’s interesting, useful, and fun that basic electronic topologies often turn out to have utility in multiple and surprisingly different applications. Figure 1 shows an example of such a circuit. It’s ...

An inverter is a smart electronic gadget that transforms the steady flow of direct current (DC) power into the alternating current (AC) power we commonly use. It ingeniously takes the input from a DC ...

Let’s look at it based on where and how you plan to use the inverter. Picking the right wattage and voltage can really make ...

Soft-switching inverters represent a significant advancement in power electronics, enabling reduced switching losses and enhanced overall efficiency. These devices utilise techniques such as ...

The circuits that connect solar arrays and other renewable resources to the grid are subject to overloads and unstable conditions that can damage power electronics. Optocoupling can help isolate ...

Both inverter and standard generators run on fossil fuels and emit carbon monoxide (CO) fumes in their exhaust and must be ...

When a facility has more than one power source, what must you do to maintain a safe operation? Article 705 answers that and other questions related to using power sources that operate in parallel with ...
