Have you ever needed to power a 12-volt relay in a circuit but only had 6 or 9 volts available? This simple circuit will solve that problem. It allows 12-volt relays to be operated from 6 or 9 volts, ...

Relays continue to be useful and popular, but in low-power, battery operated applications they tend to be power wasters. The following relay economy circuits reduce coil power significantly by simply ...

Overcurrent relays with inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristics are widely used in power systems to protect ...

An RC circuit in series with the coil allows full-current turn-on for reliable relay operation, then reduces the current to save power. Fellow engineer Sanjay R. Chendvankar of Mumbai, India, recently ...

"BCC Research Study Forecasts a 9.2% CAGR, with Market Growth from $17.2 Billion in 2024 to $26.8 Billion by 2029, Driven by Increasing Demand for Electrical Safety and Grid Reliability." This report ...

A motor protection relay safeguards electric motors by detecting thermal stress, phase imbalance, stall, and abnormal ...

Automotive electronic control applications require robust input power conditioning. The circuitry must absorb 100-V transients on one hand, while providing a stable dc bus for a few hundred ...
