Converter Definition and 257 Threads

I am trying to understand when exactly the voltage is reflected from secondary back to the primary. 1. The primary Switch turns ON, the primary inductor current ramps up 2. The primary switch turns OFF, current is induced in the secondary inductor-->diode conducts -->capacitor charges...

Hello, I don't quite understand the buck converter in continuos mode ... looking at the graph for inductor current on wikipedia, at t=0, there is a nonzero inductor current, Imin ... how is this possible when the inductor current cannot change instantaneously (assuming it starts at zero...

Hi all, I'm trying to build a transformerless converter unit, that will take an input of 240v a.c, and will output 12v d.c. I used a voltage divider to get a 16v from the a.c supply of 240v and connected my rectifying circuit across the 16v. I got an output of 14.59v. But on connecting the...

Does a polarize simply filter photons or does it change the polarization of photons (as well)? let's consider only one photon being sent, at a time, via the polarizerI think the answer might be that: for photons polarized at say 45 degree to the horizontal (or vertical) plane of the polarizer...

It only seems to have been mentioned a couple of times in passing, but Alan Eliasen's Frink calculator and programming language (https://frinklang.org/) makes unit conversions simple (converting to SI internally then back to any desired target units. User-defined units may be added, too.) Very...

I was building a simple bat detector for a child and also built one for me: http://home.earthlink.net/~bat-detector/SBD2Parts.html Now I was wondering whether it would be possible to built a simple AD converter, which can be fed the amplified signal of the microphone before it enters the...

I understand the difference between AC and DC, and i also understand how an AC transformer works... but I guess not completely. My question is why can't a DC use its emf to create a lower voltage current like AC can? Does the DC's emf accrue over time thus making its transformation short...

Hi I have been using a DC HVDC converter for a project. I am a little confused with the full load and no load characteristics for this kind of converter.The user manual states that at full load "X" Volts of input gives "Y1" volts output and for no load that same input voltage gives "Y2" volts...

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9356/capturexh.jpg Attempt at Solution: Well I put R1 and C1 in my RCL circuit, and then used the GIC rules to calculate the "L" inductance for the remainder of the circuit using R2,R3,R4,R5, and C2. So I did X = (Z1*Z3*Z5)/(Z2*Z4) where Z1=R2, Z2...

As a hobbyist I have had an interest in SMPS power supplies for quite some time, but have never gone past casual study of them. I understand the theory, but have difficulty with the actual implementation of things like a high-side switch mechanism for a P-Channel Mosfet. My goal is to...
