    What is this component?

    Hi everyone! I'm wondering what component is this? It is crunchy when you turn it like a sand inside and i think it needs a replacement. It doesn't control the power output properly. It is the two large object near the red led (one of it is crunchy)

    Buck Converter from 48V to 5V

    I am using Arduino and Controlling FAN which works on 48v. so i am using 2 power supply smps in my design. One for Arduino that 5V smps and another for FAN that is 48V smps. I want to use single power supply in my design that is of 48Vdc. I was looking for a buck converter that will take 48V as...

    DC Switching linear regular design question

    Hello, I am fairly new to electronics design (I have a mech e background), and am designing a board that requires dropping 12v to 5v with a large current requirement (up to 8A@5V). In a bid to save on BOM, I took a shot at creating my own design vs buying one off the shelf, using the...

    How do i implement a dual role power system via a USB-C port for my custom PCB.

    I currently have a custom PCB design using the PIC16F1937-CN. The custom circuit gives an output voltage via the usb to an external device. I would like to charge my circuits battery with the same usb port which is currently not the case. It has another port for charging the device. What design...

    Current control for a battery charge

    How can I control the current that is supplied to a battery? I need to balance current consumption to avoid some parts of the system run out of power. My system is described in the attached file. I have a 12V input which goes into a Boost regulator to get 48V. Those 48V are used to feed a...

    Circuit Analysis

    For Question 2.1, is the power 500W or 100W ? Do we need to apply the passive sign convention rule for power in whatever cases? Also, i’ve Learnt that we can check answers by balancing power in a circuit. But the power in this kind of circuits don’t balance out, but it is still valid. So when...

    Touching live wires on high voltage line.

    Hey everyone :) I'm working as an automation engineer and I've always asked myself why people say, that for example birds, can sit on power-lines, because they aren't touching neutral/different potential and no current is flowing. I can't really get this explanation into my head, because...
