Inductive Reactance is defined as the opposition to current flow. It is the reaction of the inductor to the changing value of alternating current. To explain further, a back electromotive force (emf) ...

Question: How do you measure inductor current? Answer: Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors to temporarily store energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it’s often useful to ...

[Kalle] tipped us about a quick project he made over a couple of evenings: an inductor saturation current tester. All the components used for it were salvaged from a beefy telecom power supply, which ...

Buck-boost converters produce a regulated output voltage either less than or greater than the input voltage. When the input voltage is higher than the output, the converter acts as a buck. When the ...

This video explains how inductors work and how they store energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through them. Inductors are passive components used to resist sudden changes in ...

Abstract: As power electronics converters can be essentially regarded as combinations of different components, a fundamental topology derivation method is proposed to derive effective topologies ...
