There are a number of potential solutions to the classic EMC problem of providing immunity from mains borne interference, especially in the form of surges, sags, brownouts, lightning strikes and noise ...

A well-known solution for electrical noise in industrial plants is the constant-voltage transformer, or CVT. These devices can filter distortion and notches from input voltages (see Fig. 1). CVTs have ...

These days, homeowners are clamoring for pendants that hang from the ceiling, moody undercabinet lighting, recessed lighting and outdoor path lights that illuminate the edge of the front walk. Of ...

step-down transformers decrease the voltage. The transformer in the diagram above is a step-down transformer – there are fewer turns on the secondary coil than on the primary coil. Type of transformer ...

People can thank voltage transformers, a kind of instrument transformer, for decreasing voltage intensity to safe levels and subsequently transporting the reduced power to homes. Transformers, which ...

Current transformers can perform circuit control, measure current for power measurement and control, and perform roles for safety protection and current limiting. They can also cause circuit events to ...

Pylons are an integral part of everyday life, and whilst many people complain about their “ugliness”, they perform essential functions that enable the population to have electricity in their homes and ...
