Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rectifier?
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known as rectification. Read more..
What is an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI)?
An AFCI is a type of circuit breaker that is designed to protect against electrical fires caused by arcing faults. Read more..
How to use Ohm’s Law?
Ohm’s law is used in many branches of physics, including electricity, magnetism, and optics. It can be used to design electrical circuits, calculate power dissipation in electronic devices, and troubleshoot electrical problems. Read more.
What is a synchronous motor?
Unlike an asynchronous AC motor, a synchronous AC motor rotates at the same speed as the frequency of the AC power supply. In order to achieve this, the synchronous AC motor must be synchronized with the power supply using a feedback system. Read more..
