SMPS circuits offer an efficient way to reduce AC from a mains source to any desired level for powering low-voltage circuits, though this comes at the cost of components such as control ICs, switching ...

Here is a simple 12 volts DC to AC inverter circuit. This 120V AC power source is built with a simple 120V:24V or 110V:24V center-tapped control transformer and four additional component. This circuit ...

Batteries are a part of our everyday life, and power everything from phones to gaming handhelds to laptops, but do those batteries use AC or DC current?

June 13, 2013 – Global Specialties has introduced the Model 1315D rugged, general-purpose AC/DC power supply with variable outputs of 0 to 25 V at 5 A with digital LED displays for motoring both ...

The outlets in your house produce alternating current, but your phone charger needs DC. How do you get from AC to DC? This simple demo shows you how.

Famously, Nikola Tesla won the War of the Currents in the early days of electrification because his AC system could use transformers to minimize losses for long distance circuits. That was well ...
