With all of the deserved attention that silicon-carbide- and gallium-nitride-based systems are receiving, it’s easy to overlook a sturdy, less-glamorous “workhorse” power-switching device that’s been ...

Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...
