From large power stations to compact SMPS circuits, transformers can be found almost everywhere. Though there are many types of transformers and their exact working differs based on the application, the basic working of the Transformer remains the same. When examining transformer circuit schematics, you'll notice "dot" symbols placed on transformer windings. These dots…
An operational amplifier is an integral part of Electronics, and we previously learned about Op-amps in various op-amp-based circuits and also built many oscillator circuits using op-amps and other electronics components.
An oscillator generally refers to the circuit which produces periodic and repetitive output, like a sine wave or square wave…
In a country like India, the main concentration nowadays is on energy efficiency and effectivity. Stress is laid on replacing HPSV lights and fluorescent tube lights with LED lights. All plants and industries that are running 24 x 7 should focus on taking the step towards operating in an energy-efficient manner by using LED lights instead of HPSV lights and fluorescent tube…
The induction motor is an A.C electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Induction motor is used extensively in variously applications from basic domestic appliances to heavy industries. The machine has so many applications that are hard to count and you can imagine the scale by knowing that almost 30% of electrical power generated globally…
When it comes to electronic components or electronic devices, there are always certain types of standards that ensure the reliability and quality of the product. In the case of the PCB or Printed Circuit Boards, the IPC standards are used to ensure quality throughout the manufacturing process. In this article, we will look into the IPC standards for PCB its purpose and what…
According to research predictions, 41.6 billion IoT devices will be generating around 79.4 zettabytes of data in the year 2025 and with the proliferation of IoT and Smart Homes; this is only set to increase. These growing numbers might result in a myriad of unsecured connected gadgets without any middleware to organize and secure them.
With a quest…
There are certainly quite a few cases of inadvertent tripping in cement plants, steel plants, fertilizer plants, FMCG and other industries that many Electrical Engineers witness at a certain point of time. Such scenarios occur in the majority of industries, not for the reason that the protection plan of these industries is not properly coordinated but because changes in the…
Every electronic system or device needs electric power to operate, whether it is from your walled AC supply or a battery. This electric power cannot be stored infinitely in any rechargeable device like batteries, condensers or Supercapacitors. So any portable devices like laptops or mobile phones are needed to be connected to AC power lines to recharge their batteries…
For most people out there, the first embedded development board that they would have worked on would most probably be an Arduino Board. But, like as well all can agree, your Arduino could take you only so far and someday you have to move to a native microcontroller platform. This process can be made a lot easier with this STM32 development board as it can support all Arduino…
In some of our previous articles we have discussed about the basics of the transformer and its different types. One of the important and commonly used Transformer is Power transformer. It is very widely used for stepping up and stepping down the voltage at the electrical power generating station and distribution station (or substation) respectively.

With an aim to address the issues of the healthcare system in India, two brothers - Adithya Pasupuleti and Gautham Pasupuleti started a company called Biodesign Innovation Labs, a healthcare technology and medical device-based startup. The main focus of the startup is to reduce the mortality and morbidity rate in children less than 5 years through Innovative medical…
Infinite sources do finite mistakes! Yes, it’s true and here is the case study that will help prove that what is being said here is true. The case study is about the Grid side that was scheduled to shut down for 2 – 3 hours for adding a new 33 kV distribution line in a substation and all the consumers were informed regarding the same 2 weeks in advance. It went as…
