In larger electric systems, including heavier equipment, industrial applications, and in power systems, the choice of three phase transformers over single phase transformers is evident. These types of transformers are used at higher voltages than possible with a...

There are different types of components in any type of electrical system. One of the essential components in any type of system is an inductor. All inductors are passive components; in other words, they neither generate or use energy. Instead, they act as a simple and...

Ever since Ottó Bláthy invented the first electrical transformers in the late 1800s, these electrical devices have been an important part of many things running on electric power. You may see tiny transformers in an electrical circuit or very large ones in electric...

In all types of electronic systems, parts are either considered to be active or passive. An active part changes or alters the power going through the part, creating a desired variation in the system. A passive electronic component does not make a change to the current...

Electrical power travels from large generators, through high tension wires, substations, and eventually makes its way to industrial, commercial, and residential customers. This power has many thousands of volts and too much for even most industrial facilities. To...
