Understanding The Role of Inductors in Power Electronics

One of the most obscure of power electronics components is the inductor: the coil-like structures that you find in most circuits. It's down to these and their properties that transformers and other power electronics circuits work.

Definitions for Common Inductor Parameters

Inductors are common, two-terminal electrical devices that store energy in a magnetic field. They’re typically made from a simple coil of wire, wound around either a metal or air core.

What Is A Fusible Resistor : Working Principle & Its Applications

A Fusible Resistor known by the name current-limiting resistor, fuse resistor, meltdown resistor is a type of resistor that has a low power rating and is designed to melt when a certain amount of current flows through it, thus breaking an electrical circuit...

Understanding the Impact of ESR on Ceramic Capacitor Selection

In an ideal world, ceramic capacitors could be designed in a way where they would exhibit no resistance. However, this is physically impossible to achieve as there will always be some type of internal resistance in a capacitor that appears in series with the...

Ceramic Capacitor Voltage Ratings

One commonly-used capacitor type is the ceramic capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are non-polarized capacitors used in applications such as filtering, coupling, decoupling, and timing.
