A farmer is watering an alfalfa field 24 hours a day using a 3-phase 100-hp electric motor and adjustable speed drive (ASD). The farmer checks on his field to find the water not flowing and the pump ...
This is a simple means of calculating the required size of the input filter capacitor in a basic power supply, or calculating the peak-to-peak ripple voltage in an existing supply. It works by ...
Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...
