This is a quite simple DC to AC inverter that provides 220VAC when a 12VDC power source is provided. It can be used to power very light loads like night lamps and cordless telephones, but can be ...

When picking a switch to use in electrical design, many people believe they can use any switch, provided its current rating is more than the maximum load in the circuit. This, of course, isn’t true.

This AC to DC converter circuit is capable of converting an alternative voltage within 70V – 260V range into a DC voltage within 180V to 350V DC range, so it can be used for 110V and 220V too. To ...

This Idea For Design shows how a gyrator circuit can be used to perform certain ac tests on units under test that require a dc-current feed. Designers have long used the gyrator circuit to create a ...

Electricity comes in two basic forms: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). DC is handy to use and is easy to analyze. However, AC has some useful properties too. In particular, AC current ...
