Alternating current circuits improve the versatility and usefulness of electric power systems. In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla demonstrated phenomena with alternating current (AC) electricity that ...

Spice-derived software packages are the de facto industry circuit-analysis tools. The primary advantage of these simulation tools is that virtually no circuit analysis algebra is required. However, ...

The circuit in Figure 1 provides a low-cost, isolated ac-line monitor that measures ac-line-voltage level and has some other unique capabilities. The analysis of the circuit is straightforward: When ...

Student has earned at least 30 semester hours (AP, Post Secondary, Transfer, IB, etc.), including Precalculus, DC Circuit Analysis, Computer Aided Drafting, Composition and Rhetoric, College Physics I ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...
