The proliferation of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) has created a new dynamic in automotive designs. HEVs and EVs no longer operate off a traditional 12-V lead-acid ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. When designing converters, it is often desirable to measure the dc current coming into the converter. This is particularly true when batteries are ...

A group of scientists from the UAE-based energy utility has developed a new method to conduct I-V curve measurements without transporting the solar modules to laboratories for detailed analysis. The ...

A multimeter and its test leads allow electrical workers to reach into an energized panel, touch live circuit components with the end of the test leads, and capture electrical readings like voltage, ...

Modern digital multimeters (DMMs) are user-friendly, accurate, and safe — when used correctly! Reading voltage is simple, but measurements must be properly interpreted. With a clamp-on DMM, accurate ...

Probe orientation and shielding can separate real buck-regulator output-voltage ripple from radiated switching noise.

Tektronix® has introduced wideband shunts for IsoVu™ isolated current probes and the THDP0400 high voltage differential probe ...

Next is the H-bridge, which resembles an H (Figure 2), which is used typically with a brushed DC motor. In addition to run, coast, and break operating modes, it can also reverse a motor. Simplified ...
