Alternating current

Electrical sources can provide two types current; uni-directional and bi-directional current, the bi-directional current is called Alternating current. AC varies its direction and magnitude with time.

Diode Voltage Doubler Circuit with Tripler and Quadrupler Explained

June 9, 2021August 9, 2019 by Michal

Voltage Multipliers are electric circuits to increase the voltage by a factor of two, three or four in case of Voltage Doubler, Tripler or Quarple respectively. The Voltage multiplier circuit uses capacitors and resistors to enhance the voltage level.

Full Wave Bridge Rectifier with Capacitor Filter Design Calculation and Formula

May 18, 2021June 3, 2019 by Michal
full bridge rectifier current flow during positive half cycle

The Bridge type full wave rectifier can convert an AC to DC by the mean of four diodes in such configuration that the output peak voltage remains equal to secondary of transformer peak. In each half cycle, a set of two diodes conduct and block the current alternately.

Power Factor and Average Power in an AC circuit Explained with Power Triangle

March 26, 2021September 2, 2018 by Shahab Yousafzai
active reactive and apparent power

Power Factor (PF) play an important role in average power dissipation in an ac circuit. PF leads to the concept of three different real, reactive and apparent power, which is better explained by Power triangle.
