Most real world quantities are represented in Decimal Number System. Digital Systems on the other hand are based on the Binary Number System. Therefore, when converting from the Digital Domain to the real-world, Binary numbers have to be represented in terms of their Decimal equivalents. The method used to convert from Binary to Decimal is… Read More: Binary to decimal conversion »
Circuit Breaker is one of the most important equipment in the power distribution system. This is because of the function of the equipment itself which is, the ability to open a circuit or to break the circuit during maintenance work or when there is fault in the system without getting damaged. Circuit breaker is a… Read More: Circuit Breaker – 7 Types »
Why Learn The Number Systems? When humans are speaking to one another, they speak in a particular language. This language is made of words and letters. Although we type words and letters in the computer, the computer does not understand the words and letters. Rather, those words and letters are translated into numbers. Computers “talk”… Read More: Number Systems for Dummies »
To compare the application of medium-voltage circuit breakers and of fused contactors, we must understand the basic characteristics of each switching technology. The below table shows the major characteristics of medium-voltage circuit breakers and medium-voltage fused contactors that influence the application. Of course, the table entries are generalized, and the information varies by the voltage… Read More: Vacuum Contactor vs Circuit Breaker Selection Considerations »
A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit , similar to a relay except with higher current ratings. Contactor is in fact an electromechanical switch. Low-voltage Contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit, similar to a relay except with higher current ratings. A… Read More: Contactor Construction & Operating Principle »
What is a balun? A Balun is special type of transformer that performs two functions i.e. impedance transformation and balanced to unbalanced transformation. The term balun is a contraction of “balanced to unbalanced transformer” Why do we need a balun? Baluns are important because many types of antennas (dipoles, yagis, loops) are balanced loads, which… Read More: Balun Transformer – Balanced vs Unbalanced Transmission Lines »
