All electronic devices require DC power to operate. Many, who have assembled a modern PC are aware of the component diversity found within. Circuit topology identified by names such as TTL and CMOS, are implemented as parts of circuit function…

In our last article we focused on the distinction between the AC transformer and the DC to DC power supply, frequently referred to as the DC to DC converter. Here, we explain the importance of specifying them to suit environment…

In order to choose a sump pump battery backup, the first thing you should do is assess your needs. Here are some of the biggest factors that will play a role in your decision: Are you trying to protect the…

The distinction between “power converters” and “power transformers” begins with an understanding of the two basic forms of electricity transmission. They are commonly referred to as AC and DC systems. AC is the abbreviation for “alternating current”. AC operating at…

Part 2: Centralized Power Switching Regulators (DC-DC Converters) As we mentioned in Part 1 of this series, North American commercial vehicles’ electrical systems are different from those used in Europe and by the NATO military. Variations in voltages and connectors…

Part 1: Interfacing Methods For Vehicles with Incompatible Electrical Standards North American commercial vehicles have electrical systems unlike those of Europe and the NATO military. Specifically, they operate at different voltages and use dissimilar connectors. As examples of wiring conventions,…
