Why get up close and personal with a resistor when you can tweak it from a distance? Remote variable resistors make analog circuit control easier, neater, and a lot more fun. Well, we are about to ...

Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. They exploit ...

The distribution system, a key subset of the overall electric grid, provides power to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Voltage and reactive power management and control have been done ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).
