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 »

In another artcile we have already described the manual conversion of binary to decimal numbers. If you are willing to use computer for mathematical conversions then the best option… Read More: Easiest Binary To Decimal Conversion Using MS Excel »
In recent years it has become apparent that fiber-optics are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of communication signal transmission. They span the long distances between local phone systems as well as providing the backbone for many network systems. Other system users include cable television services, university campuses, office buildings, industrial plants, and… Read More: Fiber Optic Advantage Over Copper Cables »
