Image source Amazon Electromagnetic interference is a major issue in most electronic applications. It is likely to interfere with the transmission of signals and the flow of current. Think of devices such as phones computers and radios. These are just some of the electronic devices known to generate electromagnetic waves within their systems. Different devices…
We all know what a resistor does in an electric circuit. It is a component responsible for limiting or resisting the flow of electric current. There are various situations when you don’t want current to flow in a particular direction or through a specific section of a circuit. A resistor will come in handy. Resistors…
Camshaft sensor source: CarTreatmements A camshaft is a key component of a car’s engine. So, a camshaft position sensor (CMP) is type of device designed to monitor the exact position of a camshaft internal combustion engine. The position is measured with reference to the position of a crankshaft-another key component of an engine. This information…
Boost converter image source Wiki We have two keywords to think of: ‘Boost’ and ‘Converter’. A boost converter, also known as a step-up converter, is an electric device or circuit that converts DC-DC while simultaneously increasing the circuit’s voltage output. So, this is not an AC-DC converter as most electric converters do. Boost converters are…
100 amp panel source Spruce A panel box or service panel or distribution board is usually considered to be the housing for the circuit breakers. These panels are rated according to their amp capacities or amperage. You can have a 100 amp panel, 200 amp panel, or 300 amp panel, and many other options. In this…
Image of electric furnace source Provincial Heating After buying a furnace and preparing to install it, the next thing that you need to think of is buying the right circuit breaker. Which is the perfect breaker size for a furnace? In all cases, it will always depend on the electrical load of the furnace. The…
Image source HomeSteady While the circuit breaker is designed to trip in case of an electrical abnormality, you should be concerned if this happens frequently. A GE microwave tripping the breaker could be a sign of an electrical problem either on your circuit or on the microwave. With the right guidance, you can pinpoint and…
Image source Pixel Electric CR2032 batteries are non-rechargeable coin-cell batteries. So, there is no way you can recharge it, no matter how innovative you can be. Any attempts to recharge a CR2032 battery is likely to lead to a serious s damage and in some cases accidents and injuries. Even if the recharging process seems…
Image source hobby components A MOSFET transistor BS170 is an N-channel enhancement field effect transistor that has a wide range in modern electric devices, especially those that involve the transmission and reception of signals. It is mainly designed for switching and amplification functions. Like most MOSFETs, this one has three terminals, the Source(S), Drain (D)…
Image source Amazon In your house, you have a circuit breaker for offering protection against electrical hazards. What about in a vehicle or any other small space? This is where shortstop circuit breaker (SCB) comes in. It works in exactly the same way as the circuit breaker. They are commonly used in automotive systems though…
