Download this article in PDF format. If you need an adjustable three-phase, 60-Hz power source, a standard consumer audio/visual (A/V) receiver can be converted into a fully functional three-phase ...

When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the quest for more power efficient data centers, is there any trend in the US to move to 240V/415V three phase power distribution in the data center racks? (or 230V/400V) I would not expect the ...

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 ...
