This article aims to explain the theoretical workings of single-phase induction motors in a way that individuals without an engineering background can understand. By the end of this article, readers should be able to describe the driving force behind the armature’s motion, how rotation is maintained, the reasons for needing start mechanisms, and the operational […]
This blog describes how to test components indirectly without unnecessary disassembly. You’ll save time by testing components remotely via easily accessible areas such as the console of an appliance using what we call “shared electrical points” or SEPs. In this blog, we will highlight two main advantages of using SEPs: first, the ability to remotely […]
Loose upstream connections in voltage sources can cause “voltage loss” in high current loads. This is because a voltage divider (and incidental secondary load) is created by the loose connection, which robs the primary load of available voltage. In doing this, the loose connection dissipates power (in the form of heat). Why Loose Connections are […]
