Ramp Function: The ramp function is shown in the Fig. 2.10. Mathematically such a function is expressed as, Thus it is a straight line of slope A. This slope A is called amplitude or magnitude…
Micro Hydel Power Plant - Components and its Workings: Micro Hydel Power Plant was the most common way of electricity generating in the early 20th century. The first commercial use of hydroelectric power to produce…
Instruction Set of 80386 Microprocessor: The 80386 processor can support all the instructions of 80286. Usually, the instruction sets of 80286 are designed to operate with 8-bit or 16-bit data, but the same mnemonics may…
Intel 8096 CPU Structure: The major components of the CPU on the 8096BH are the register file and the register ALU (RALU). The Intel 8096 CPU Structure consists of a 16-bit ALU. It operates on…
Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) or Switching Regulators: Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) - The regulated power supplies described earlier were basically linear voltage regulators. A linear voltage regulator possesses many limitations: The input transformer…
Common Drain Amplifier Circuit Diagram: The FET Common Drain Amplifier Circuit Diagram shown in Fig. 11-14 has the output voltage developed across the source resistor (RS). The external load (RL) is capacitor-coupled to the source…
Static Differential Relay Block Diagram and Working Principle: The differential relay measures the phasor difference between two similar electrical quantities (voltage-voltage or current-current). The rectifier bridge amplitude comparator is the most common static form for…
Power Supply Source Effect in Semiconductor: Power Supply Source Effect in Semiconductor shows that the ac supply to the input of a transformer in a dc power supply does not always remain constant. A ±10%…
Difference Between Thyristor and Thyratrons: Before the discovery of thyristors, thyratrons were used for inÂdustrial control, but now they have been replaced by the thyristors because of the following drawbacks of thyratrons. 1. Thyratron needs…
Laplace Transform Partial Fraction: Most transform methods depend on the partial fraction of a given transform function. Given any solution of the form N(s) = P(s)/Q(s), the inverse Laplace transform can be determined by expanding…
