This whitepaper compares single phase and three phase circuits from the component count, stress level and complexity standpoints. The document shows that on most cases, single phase circuits are the ...

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 ...

Many older industrial facilities use single-phase, oil-filled transformers made for pole-mounting but installed at ground level to create 3-phase power distribution systems. Usually, primary and ...

Welcome to the first in a series of articles focusing on electrical calculation basics. This month, we'll discuss the most fundamental of calculations — those for current (I) and kilowatts (kW). We'll ...

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 ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management. Understanding the trade-offs between Delta and Wye connections enables ...

Keep in mind when reading any article about electrical theory or application that it only scratches the surface of the topic. You can dedicate years of your life to understanding electrical theory and ...

Edge Energy, a leader in innovative energy solutions, today announced a collaborative next-generation solution with Lincoln Electric that is designed to bring, fast reliable charging to locations that ...
