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…
Vermin is a term that we use for animals, mostly reptiles and birds which cause significant damage or annoyance. These animals love to set up their house in the nooks and crannies where control and protection wiring are housed. These small creatures try to get inside such nooks and corners and sometimes get stuck in electrical machines/installations thereby causing…
Arduino was first introduced in 2005 aiming to provide a low-cost and easy way for novices and professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using sensors and actuators.
Before Arduino was introduced, the embedded design was viewed as a complex subject and hobbyists (or engineers) had to find a professional to get a working…
As mentioned in the last article where we discussed Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), almost all electronic products designed for commercial use and legal sales, are required to possess one or more certifications as a proof that the product complies with certain regulations/guidelines and has passed related tests. There are tonnes of regulations and they differ from place…
Electric filters have many applications and are extensively used in many signal processing circuits. It is used for choosing or eliminating signals of selected frequency in a complete spectrum of a given input. So the filter is used for allowing signals of chosen frequency pass through it or eliminate signals of chosen frequency passing through it.

Interacting with Holographic projections in the real-world will no longer be limited to Si-Fi movies. Dimension NXG an IIT Bombay Start-up has developed an AI-powered holographic computer called “AjnaLens”. This wearable XR headset blends in the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning with Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). It can project…
Along with range anxiety and lack of charging infrastructure, battery degradation is also one of the main hurdles in making Electric Vehicles feasible for the masses. Different types of Lithium batteries have different life cycles depending on their chemistries, normally it would be somewhere between a few hundred to a few thousand. Over this charge cycle due to aging,…
Every hobbyist wanting to dabble in radio has to – at some point – wind a coil or two, be it the antenna coil of an AM radio, a coil on a toroidal core for a bandpass filter in a communications transceiver or a centrally tapped coil for use in a hartley oscillator. Winding coils is not hard but quite time-consuming. There are different methods of making coils, depending on…
There is a long debate that Supercapacitors will overrule the battery market in the future. A few years back when Supercapacitors were made available, there was a huge hype about it and many expected it to replace the batteries in commercial electronic products and even in Electric Vehicles. But, nothing like that actually happened, because both Supercapacitors and…
Internet connectivity has become necessary nowadays as almost every electronic device needs an active internet connection to work properly. Although most of the devices have Wi-Fi connectivity options, but many devices and network routers still used Ethernet ports and cables to connect with the wired internet line. We previously learned about how data can be transferred over…
In electronics, surges are a very critical thing and it is a nightmare for every circuit designer. These surges are commonly referred to as impulse which can be defined as a high voltage, typically in a few kV which exists for a short duration of time. The characteristics of an impulse voltage can be noticed with a High or Low fall time followed by a very high rise time of…
While integrating autonomous features in modern vehicles, leading auto companies are exploring the future of urban mobility in the aviation industry. The emerging concept of air taxis reflects the dramatic transformation that is underway in the automotive industry.
With a mounting number of cars on roads, especially…
