Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is an industrial control system which is used in many modern industries like energy, manufacturing, power, water transportation, etc. SCADA systems organize multiple technologies that allows to process, gather and monitor data at the same time to send instructions to those points that transmit data. In today’s world, almost anywhere you can observe SCADA systems, whether it’s a waste water treatment plant, … [Read more...]
What is a Varactor Diode : Working and Its Characteristics
In general, we frequently use multiple number of electronics and electrical components to design electronic circuits. These basic components include resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, thyristors, transformers, and so on. Let us consider diode which is a two-terminal semiconductor solid state electronic device. Diode exhibits nonlinear V-I characteristics and it allows the current to flow only in one direction - during forward … [Read more...]
Power Factor Correction Unit with Real Time Applications
In the recent years, advancements in discrete semiconductors with high-performance and low-cost integrated circuits (ICs) led to the design active power factor correction over a several range of applications. Mostly, these APFC panes are introduced in many of the industries for better utilization of available power supply. Good or high-power factor results in efficient electricity consumption and thus reduces electricity bills. … [Read more...]
