Image source Leets Academy In today’s fast-paced digital world, IGBT tends to serve the switches. This type of transistor has evolved to be a very important power electronic component that is highly demanded in most application areas. The transistor is used in both the switching and power amplification applications. You will find insulated gate bipolar transistors…
Image source Fuji Electronics Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) are semiconductor chips that are used in a wide range of modern applications, especially the ones that are tech-related. You will find these chips in electric cars, smart home appliances renewable energy generators, and industrial machinery among others. IGBTs ride on their superior performance and energy…
Image source Owlcation A fuse is an important electrical component. It is found in almost every electric circuit and its role is to provide protection against excessive current. In case the current in a circuit exceeds a certain limit, the fuse will blow up hence protecting the device and other electronic components from any damage.…
Image source YouTube/Tibright Welding When your car’s radiator is damaged, there are different ways of repairing it. One of the possible solutions is to solder it. The process simply entails using a solder and a soldering iron to join two pieces of metal. Soldering a radiator is not an easy task to accomplish. Especially when…
Image source Forbes The automobile market has been badly affected by the chip shortage for the past three years,2020, 2021, and 2022. While many were hoping that there will be some improvements in 2023, the situation seems to be the same. The shortage has forced many automakers to scale down on their production for the…
Image source learning electronics In almost all cases, you will need a resistor to charge a capacitor. What if you don’t have a resistor? Does it mean that you will not charge the capacitor? Don’t worry, there is always a way of finding solutions when it comes to electronic projects. And this includes charging capacitors…
Image source Motor Tred Automotive chips are basically computer systems that control every aspect and component of a vehicle. They are integrated circuits that comprise of an array of electric components designed to perform different tasks in vehicles. We call these chips computers because they have processing, power, and memory units. You will find these…
Image source Pixabay The function of a capacitor is to store electric charge. It is capable of storing some significant amount of voltage even after the power supply to a device has been cut off. Many electronic devices and appliances tend to utilize the charge-storing functionality of capacitors. In as much as the capacitors can…
Image of 50 amps double-pole circuit breaker: source Lowes Each circuit breaker that you install should be accompanied with the appropriate wire size. So, which is the right wire size for a 50 amp circuit breaker? 6 American Wire Gauge )6 AWG) is considered the perfect wire size for a 50 amp circuit breaker. What…
Image source Amazon C945 is classified as a Negative Positive Negative (NPN) bipolar junction transistor (BJT) type. It is mainly used on circuits where a combination of low current and high-speed reactions are required. For example, amplifies run on low current and while at the same time require fast reaction. While this transistor is suitable…
