When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

See Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this series. The previous FET circuits pertained to voltage-controlled signal amplitude circuits. That is, the input signal’s amplitude can be changed at the output ...

Circuit bending doesn’t get a lot of respect around some parts of the Internet we frequent, but there is certainly an artistry to it. Case in point is the most incredible circuit bending we’ve ever ...

This sound controlled lights circuit design is used to control the brightness of the lights attached to it in sync with the sound that is being capturated by its microphone. This electronic circuit ...

A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...
