power electronics

Hi, In my first job I have worked as an Embedded systems engineer (with major focus on software) for 1.5 years. I am currently working as a hardware engineer for 2 years. Considering the long term success, is it better to specializing in one area( Specifically analog electronics or...

Hi, I'm looking for a DC-DC converter topology with the following characteristics: Input Voltage Range 2.7-5V Output Voltage: 12V Output Power: 1kW It is not of primary importance the isolation. Do you have any suggestions about the most suitable DC-DC converter topology (high power and high...

I couldn't convert the ADC reading to its respective analog current value. I connected a microcontroller in the Vout to read the current, it will give an 8bit HEX value. The load is another microcontroller. The ADC reading in no-load is HEX00. (8-bit @ 3.3V) and LTC6106 for current sensing...

Draw the dc output voltage and voltage across T3 in a Graetz Circuit when firing angle is 45 degree and u=30 degree.

hi guys, currently i'm want to design a dc-dc boost converter but i don't know what is the best frequency value that i need to use in this converter. can someone advise how to find the best pwm switching frequency? i need a justification why i supposed to use that frequency value on my design.

Hi, I am working on a solar panel whose output maximum specifications are 6V, 100mA ( nearly 0.6watt). Practically these values came to 5v, 80mA when tested in afternoon sun. I want to run a motor whose operating voltage is (3~12V), no load current is 180mA. I would like to know...

Hopefully this is an easy design question to answer. I'll start with some background information. The case is with lithium iron phosphate or LFP batteries that are "48 volts" used for household photovoltaic battery backup. There are many brands and there are different lithium chemistries, but we...

Here is a schematic of the circuit I built. The circuit consist of a primary coil, secondary coil, iron core, 2 lithium ion cells connected together, forming a battery, and a multimeter to measure current. I think the battery sometimes gets hot. Should i put a resistor between the battery and...

I am working on a static transfer switch which aim is to allow supplying a load with 2 different sources in order to have a redundancy when feeding the load. The head to tail assembly allow the current to flow in 2 directions (for each alternative of the input current) The working condition is...

Hi, I made some Simulations of a Unified Power Quality Controller and now I have to make some test. I would like to buy some board already designed but without the control. I'm not looking for IGBT or SiC MOSFET three-phase module, but I would like something already equipped with heatsinks...

Hello, I'm designing a resistive load bank. Currently, I am designing the switch that will be controlled by a control signal via Arduino uno rev 3. The bidirectional switch is composed of two back-to-back igbts connected by their emitters with anti-parallel diodes. (Due to cost, there are two...

Hi All, As an electronics engineer, I have always worked with low voltage circuits and found it very difficult to control high voltage, AC powered devices. In my last project, I needed a power board that I can just plug my MCU or DSP and control an instrument that needs high power. I wanted an...

Hello everyone ... For a project, I want to make an escalator smart with a number of PIR sensors So that the escalator turns off after one minute of not using it And for example, turn on 20 seconds later If this cycle continues, can it damage the engine? The specifications of this motor are 9 kW...

Hello everybody. I designed a circuit to boost the voltage from roughly 1.5V to 5V, with the help of the MAX1675. Unfortunately it only outputs 2.2V. I have the 8 pin package and connected it as in the picture attached. The actual battery gives me a reading of 1.6V. I don't use the battery...

Hi, I'm studying the Zeta Converter topology for Photovoltaic Applications. In every documents, it is specified that the switch is PMOS. I don't understand why a PMOS is needed. Which are its advantages? Being a switch, is it possible to use an NMOS instead of PMOS? Obviously, an isolated...

I am working on a static transfer switch which aim is to allow supplying a load with 2 different sources in order to have a redundancy when feeding the load. The head to tail assembly allow the current to flow in 2 directions (for each alternative of the input current) The working condition is...

Dear Team, May I know how to find the maximum input voltage a didode can handle.I checked many datasheets no info about this. Can I apply any voltage greater than it's forward voltage. Regards HARI

Good day, I have a design problem I need to complete. Unfortunately it has been a long while since I have done a design in that area. I need help with this design.

Need Statement (Not a lot of experience with power electronics, apologies). I need to power a low-voltage halogen lamp (OSRAM 64328 HLX, 65W, Nominal voltage 9.8V, 6.6A) with a 230V AC source. Additionally, I need to have the capability to digitally control the powering of this lamp, which I...

1) Enter your expression for the dc component of the output voltage V: 2) For the buck with input filter, enter your expression for the dc component of the L2 inductor current I2: 3)For the buck with input filter, enter your expression for the dc component of the capacitor C1 voltage VC1...
