Here are the steps required to select the transformer and how to design the circuit needed to meet the end use in a manner that prevents transformer saturation Average current-mode control (CMC) ...

For applications that require or desire a computer controlled variable current, the use of a digitally controlled potentiometer and a current mirror with degeneration provides a low cost solution. One ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

The Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCE) 1 and 2 are typically a relay with force guided contacts. When a safety interlock, light curtain, or e-stop switch opens a circuit, the MPCE NO contacts ...

All questions and answers are based on the 2011 NEC. Q. What is the Code rule for motor control circuit overcurrent protection? A. Motor control conductors that aren’t tapped from the branch circuit ...

How does the NEC control your signaling and control wiring requirements? Today's industrial facilities use a host of control circuits for motor control, instrumentation signals, and plant shutdown ...
