3 Phase (3 Wire) EMI Filter – 480VAC


https://www.electronics-lab.com/3-phase-3-wire-emi-filter-480vac/

The project presented here is a 3 Phase (3Wire) EMI Power line filter which reduces electromagnetic interference and noise conducting in to and out of equipment power lines. These EMI filters can prevent electromagnetic noise of equipment going into the power line and disturb the proper functions of other devices such as communication devices, digital […]

Parallel RLC Circuit Analysis


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/parallel-rlc-circuit-analysis/

Introduction The series behavior of the three elementary components of electronics has been detailed in our previous article Series RLC Circuit Analysis. In this tutorial, another association known as the parallel RLC circuit is presented. In the first section, we present the elementary parallel RLC circuit and focus on its impedance. The second section focuses […]

AC Capacitance and Capacitive Reactance


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/ac-capacitance-capacitive-reactance/

Introduction Such as for inductors, the electrical behavior of capacitors also depends on the nature of the source : DC or AC. We will see through this tutorial that in some way, the capacitor can be seen as the opposite of an inductor in terms of frequency functioning. Like for the resistors and inductors, we […]

Class D Amplifiers


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/class-d-amplifiers/

Introduction In the previous tutorials, an important link has been established between the conduction angle of an amplifier and it’s efficiency. Indeed, high conduction angles-based amplifiers offer a very good linearity such as the class A Amplifiers but present a very limited efficiency, generally around 20 to 30 %. As the conduction angle is decreased, […]

How to compare your circuit requirements to active-filter approximations


https://www.electronics-lab.com/compare-circuit-requirements-active-filter-approximations/

By Bonnie C. Baker (WEBENCH® Senior Applications Engineer): Numerous filter approximations, such as Butterworth, Bessel, and Chebyshev, are available in popular filter software applications; however, it can be time consuming to select the right option for your system. So how do you focus in on what type of filter you need in your circuit? This […]
