Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...

Let’s continue our journey into power electronics components that are employed as switches in the switching regime while using some SPICE simulations to observe their general behavior. The switching ...

Power relays are specifically designed to handle either AC or DC. It’s important to know the fundamental differences between them before building them into a system. Introduction to AC and DC Power ...
