Your car only starts reliably because two electrical workhorses share the load. The battery delivers instant power on demand, while the alternator keeps that energy flowing once the engine runs.

Car batteries often appear to fail without warning because the early stages of deterioration do not produce symptoms that drivers can detect. A battery can hold a normal resting voltage even when its ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

Don’t worry, it’s not just you. Everyone dropped their first, or likely fortieth, F-bomb when their dad had them hold the spark plug while he hit the kickstarter on their dirt bike. While it might ...

Abstract: This paper presents the performance of homopolar inductor alternator (HIA) with diode-bridge rectifier and capacitive load. According to the conduction and commutation rules, all the ...

Abstract: All electrical power equipment, before putting into service, have to pass through numbers of tests to prove their functional performance. In this context, short-circuit test is one of the ...
