This AC power switch circuit senses the presence of AC current in one outlet of a multi-outlet power strip and switches power to the remaining outlet(s). It utilizes a current transformer, single ...

When choosing a switch to use in an electrical design project, there is a perception that it is possible to use any switch, provided its current rating is greater than the maximum load in the circuit.

Hotel rooms are often furnished with an interior key-holder near the main door which enables the ac power supply to everything in the room only when the key/keycard is hanged/inserted. The circuit ...

Power switch and circuit breaker combination is UL-recognized and CUL-approved for 15A, 125V ac and features snap-in mounting into a 13.5 3 29-mm panel cutout. The combination features a minimum of ...

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (ICD), Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation, announced the availability of the CPC1964B, an AC Solid State Switch utilizing dual power SCR outputs.

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 ...

The article provides details on device types such as dc supplies, converters, transformers and protection devices used in ...

While in France awhile back I happened on some very low cost, cool-looking surface mount AC power switches. At 1 Euro each they seemed like a bargain. I bought six ...

If you want to easily control the power in a circuit, you’ll probably reach for the classic toggle switch. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, physical toggles are a bit dated at this ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.
