DC Power Supplies Fundamental Concepts
...ower supply, typically connected to a house or office AC (alternating current) wall outlet. These include radios, stereo systems, TV, computers, and other devices which we use daily. The discussion starts with the primary power source - the wall socket, and a brief history about AC power. Several basic power supply configurations are described to support the functional concepts introduced.

Alternating Current Fundamentals
...o flow in the other coil (the "secondary"). The alternating current that flows through the primary winding establishes a time-varying magnetic flux, some of which links to the secondary winding and induces a voltage across it. The number of times the wires are wrapped around the core ("turns") is very important and determines how the transformer changes the voltage.

A Unique and Understandable Way to Look at Three Phase Circuits
...hat in mind, this course starts by reviewing single phase alternating current circuits including resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits. This is a quick review emphasizing voltage, current, and power relationships in these three common circuit elements. Waveforms and their relationship to vectors is shown. Then most three phase circuits are shown to be nothing more than a number of

Electrical Components - What They Are How They Work and What They Look Like on Drawings
...king at how resistors, capacitors, and inductors react to alternating current voltages. Other than some representation of AC voltages with vectors, there is no math involved in this course. And even then, it? s just pictures, not working with numbers. The student must take a twenty (20) question multiple choice quiz at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits. It is my intention that the

Power Factor Correction
...ourse starts by reviewing direct current and single phase alternating current circuits, including resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits. This is a quick review emphasizing voltage, current, and power relationships in these three common circuit elements. Waveforms and their relationship to vectors are shown. Line voltage drops and line power losses are examined. This course was

Industrial Motor Control
...nic techniques for controlling motors are addressed. Both Alternating Current motors and Direct Current motors are covered. All in all, this is a very nice coverage of a subject that is often overlooked in our educational systems. This course was designed for electrical engineers as well as engineers of other disciplines. Electrical engineers will have a deeper understanding of how motors

Reactance in AC Circuits - Fundamental Concepts
...Reactance is the measure of the opposition to the flow of alternating current caused by the inductance and capacitance in a circuit rather than by resistance. Steady electric currents flowing along conductors in one direction undergo opposition called electrical resistance, but no reactance. Reactance is present in addition to resistance when conductors carry alternating current. Reactance also

Alternating Current Motors and Generators
...alternating current generator, or AC generator, produces an alternating current, which means the voltage produced alternately reverses from positive to negative polarity, producing a corresponding change in the direction of current flow. Much like a DC generator, an AC generator requires a coil to cut across the force lines of a magnetic field. This coil is attached to two slip rings, which

Direct Current Circuits Fundamentals
...tor such as a piece of plastic. It is also different than alternating current (AC) electricity, which flows back-and-forth in a conductor. In DC circuits, the polarity of the voltage source and current does not change over time. The direction of the flow of current in a circuit is always taken to be the direction in which a positive charge would move. By convention, we show DC current flow as
